sorry to hear about the saga, but if you are now feeling better, that is great. 

Take care though.

Hi

Here's the saga:
Procedure cancelled on the day following an early morning start at 04:30 to have breakfast by 5:00 then start for Plymouth to get there by 08:00 
Cost of car for mdw and myself 46 quid
Had all the drama of gowning up and have various sharp things stuck into me and electronic gadgets stuck to my body followed by 3 hours of waiting only to be told sorry it has to be rescheduled because of an emergency ( fair enough, hope the other patient recovered ) so have to go home ( btw still haven't eaten since 05:00 ) one bright spot our fares will be refunded and a hospital car will take us home. Unfortunately marching from ward to cashiers has brought on an attack so have to take GTN spray works it's magic ..off we go to the ward again but the lack of sugar in my blood and the blood pressure lowering qualities of the spray results in me collapsing in the Day room Four nurses grab me and hoist me on to a bed and rush me to the ward. More sharp things and electronic gadgets, two hours later white coat appears and says perhaps a cup of sweet tea might help - it does. Finally get a sandwich and another cuppa before being passed in to the hands of the worlds most boring driver for an even longer trip home as the driver has to deliver another patient on the way - get home in shock at 19:00. 

Await new date.

Hospital forget to tell booking service,lose my records.
They have to give me a date within 28 days of the cancelled date, with two weeks they cannot meet their own deadline so I am entitled to go private and charge it to NHS.
How strange, I get an appointment within four days and have now had new plumbing work done on my heart. 

Is this on topic?
Yes always check your rights on NHS and assorted large organisations web sites carefully when a cock up arises and trust your speech synthesiser.
