"Been waiting since January"

About: Whipps Cross University Hospital

I was referred to orthopaedics in January had to chase them up for appointment.

Finally got one in July a wait of 6 months. Get a letter last week that my appointment has been cancelled and I've been put back on waiting list!!! No explanation nothing. I have CO-OP and CO-OP prolapsed discs in my neck causing pain from shoulder all the way down the arm and a numb thumb. Called the appointment centre and was actually advised to go to a&e as they always have an orthopaedic doctor there. Unbelievable. Still no appointment
