Dear dalton kershaw,

Thank you for taking the time to place your posting. We appreciate patient feedback and were most concerned to read your account of your experience.

I am sorry that your surgery couldn’t be undertaken on Monday, however if there are more patients requiring surgery than the theatre time available, medical staff have to prioritise which patients are the most urgent clinically. This is why you were asked to ring again on Tuesday and I apologise if this wasn’t explained to you and if your pain killers did not give you sufficient pain relief whilst you waited for surgery.

I understand that you have now had your surgery and I sincerely hope this went well and that you are recovering uneventfully.

With best wishes,

Kerry
