Operation cancelled due to no beds

"Operation cancelled due to no beds"

About: Southmead Hospital / General surgery

(as the patient),

Attended the hospital for an op at 7, 30am went through all the previous assessment got changed ready to go down for the op. After 3hr 30min was told it was cancelled as no beds was available in ITU.

Now I got to go another wait to see when I can get another date and as I'm in a big risk of it bursting I think it is disgusting I have to go through all this worry.
