"waiting for 16 weeks +"

i was referred to solihull hospital. via the e referral system,

After an ultrasound scan (which i knew the results of via my gp) ,to see a consultant urologist ,i waited 16 weeks from time of referral to the day of the appointment , the day of the appointment i arrived 10 minutes early , my name was called and went in to see the urologist, 3 minutes later, after being told what i already knew about the ultra sound results ,that was the consultation over

the e-referral gave me the impression ,i could look at available appointments anywhere i could get to (bearing in mind the pain was getting worse) , ,and book that appointment ,not the case at all ,your given an appointment and that's that, miss the appointment you start the 16 week wait again ,but on a plus side the parking was free ,less than 30 minutes ,the consultant had his mind made up from looking at the ultrasound results ,before i even attended the appointment, wait 16 weeks for a 3 minute appointment ,
