"Appointments keep getting postponed"

About: West Middlesex University Hospital

I had a shoulder operation in August, and I had the first check-up two weeks after. The next was scheduled for December, two months after my passive immobilisation ended.

In November I got a letter that it had been postponed to February. And in January I got a letter it's been postponed to end of March.

This is more than three months after the original check-up was supposed to happen and I'm getting worried since my shoulder is starting to hurt again.

The dates are being postponed again and again, I had no physiotherapy (which was mentioned in the beginning), and noone seems to care about my shoulder after the surgery.

I also had another appointment at ENT postponed, so it looks like the specialist will now look at MRI scans half of a year after they were taken.

What's happening with the hospital?
