"clinic cancelled by consultant twice!!!"

About: Queen Alexandra Hospital

Anything else?

I am waiting for a gynae assessment, and my consultant has cancelled the clinic twice. the second time after I arrived for my appointment. I have not even been told who the consultant is nor been given a reasonable date for rescheduling. I am currently on week 13 since referral and won't be seen for another two weeks, providing my clinic is not cancelled again. then you receive a patronising letter from the gynae dept which mentions that if you fail to attend your appointment you will be removed from the list! how dare they!! the feeble apology did not give me back my half day I wasted going to my appointment that was cancelled. this is just not good enough!!
