My son had an appointment for an orthodontic examination.
After waiting for over an hour his name was called. The first thing the doctor asked was has he had an x-ray. The answer was not, so we had to walk to the other side of the hospital which was a long way for me as I suffer with a bad back. We then had to wait again for the x-ray, then we had to walk all the way back and wait to be seen again.
We could have been told when we got there to go straight to x-ray, which could have saved a lot of time and waiting about.
This also cost me another hour to pay on the car park charges.
