I was due to be having surgery tomorrow for an operation that had already been cancelled for January, I get a phone call today,15 hours before I am due in to say that it is cancelled for a second time.
I work full time, twice now I have managed my work calendar to take into account being off work after surgery, my husband had also booked tomorrow off work to be there to drop me off and pick me up.
I am in a considerable amount of pain, which is impacting on I know the NHS is being squeezed to deliver more with less money, but this is impacting on patients safety, quality of life for patients.
I am a 50 year old British Citizen,been working since I was 16, paying my taxes and national insurance, and is this what our generation has to look forward to, an NHS that is unable to deliver care to its patients.
I am disappointed and angry that OUR NHS is being run into the ground by people who are playing a game with people lives and do not understand the reality of the situation.
"Operation cancelled for the second time this year"
