I was due to go in to hospital at musgrove park to have a uterine embolisation I had arranged for my mother to come from Taunton to pick me up from bridgewater as my car was in a garage for repairs so I refused a courtesy car for the week as I knew I would not be driving I got to the hospital and prepared myself for the procedure to be told the x-ray machine they need to use would not switch on so they told me they was waiting for an engineer to come out after about 30 mins I started to get worried to which my consultant came in and said that the procedure will not be able to go ahead the machine is 11 years old and will take time to fix as u can tell I'm very upset I've been waiting 7 weeks to get this done and now looks like I have to wait another 7 weeks I've had to inform my husband who has had to take time of work to care for me I think this is unacceptable that I now have to continue being in a lot of pain and discomfort and to have heard the machine was serviced two weeks before all I want is this procedure today not in the next 7 weeks please help.
