"ophtalmology and PAL a pure joke"

About: Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital

Anything else?

after a horrendous time with the ophthalmologist ( no treatment or advise , she did not listen to anything ..list goes on ) I contacted PAL to make a complain that was 3 weeks ago nobody had even returned my call ( that should be done within 72 hours) apparently PAL is under staff due to numerous sickness ( may be they have been treated in ophthalmology dpt !¬ ) this is just a joke !
