So I go to hospital to have a operation wound checked. They change the dressing and advise me to call the GP to arrange to see the Nurse in 3 days to have my dressing changed. I call, speak to an un-helpful receptionist who advises me that the earliest appointment is in a week's time. I tell her that's no good as the hospital were very clear that it should be in 3 days as they've got a new dressing and they want it checked in 3 days. The receptionist then advises me that they can fit me in today, the day I've had a new dressing! She then suggested that they would contact some other clinics to see if they could fit me in but she couldn't even let me know if they would ring me. Finally suggested that I go to Heywood (which is in Burslem some 30 min away) walk in clinic on Friday for the dressing change. If you voted Tory then shame on you because this is caused by people like you!
"Unable to see the nurse for a week!"
