Operation Cancellation

Posted By Sightwitty

"Operation Cancellation"

About: St Richard's Hospital / General surgery

(as the patient),

I have had my hernia operation cancelled three times now. It is scheduled for mid September-which is when the junior doctors will probably be on strike. No doubt it will be cancelled again. I am on tablets for my heart which I have been told to stop a week before each appointment and then start them again when the appointment has been cancelled. My poor little heart must be being affected by this.
