Should have said we came home after 2 1/2 hours so now waiting to go back when we are summoned. Not holding my breath as she had an urgent referal 4 months ago for something else she's still waiting for.

I fell over 5m onto concrete from the top of a ladder 16 months ago. I'll just say painful and leave it at that. Missus called an ambulance when she got home and found me. They refused to take me in for an x-ray saying there wasn't enough bruising for anything to be broken! The wife pointed out she'd seen me with broken bones before and there no was no bruising then either but they wouldn't be swayed. Spent 2 months unable to twist or roll-over in bed without a feeling like my pelvis opening up. Bought a wrist vrace off Amazon and wore that for a week or so until my wrist stopped hurting. Knee and ankle took about 3 or 4 weeks before they stopped hurting. I realise they were trying to protect me from covid but FFS.

If I need a stent it'd better be available on eBay.

Liked cos it's the only option not cos it's funny.

Not good, lots being put off cos of Covid. Wifes gall bladder op took 2 1/2 years, 1st year cos they forgot about her, then 1 1/2 years cos of Covid. They ended up sending her to a private hospital.
When I had my heart attack about 15 years ago they couldn't decide on a bypass or 5 stents so they didn't do either, just put me on 5 tablets a day for ever.
 
Will you stop praising the RR you know it always comes back to bite you:D

Too true. I praised Otto for his good behaviour on Saturday, so Sunday the EAS went into limp mode 2/3 of the way to the new house. So he is now sat on the drive waiting for me to find the Nanocom in the packed stuff and start reading fault codes / fixing things. On the plus side I did actually find (and know where I packed) the solenoid refurb kit as a result of the move.
 
Fortunately we have a walk in centre that wasn't too busy so only took 2 1/2 to find out they are not sure so refering her to the fracture clinic.
At least that will give me plenty of time to investigate while I wait for her. :)
They do try their best under the circumstances. The son in law uncle ended up in a&e with numbness in his legs. He was put in a side room ,the shift changed and they found him 14 hrs later, one downside to going on your own is nobody misses you.:eek:

I think they are doing a good job under the circumstances but I have had nurses say that they are always in but the GP's are thin on the ground.

My GP's surgery isn't doing anything to help themselves. They wanted me in for a blood test last week then I had to make an appointment for a telephone consultation for 10 days later which I did.appointment for 17 March.:rolleyes: then I got a text to phone the surgery , when I phoned them they had no record of the appointment so a new one made earliest is 1st April.:rolleyes: my comment your having a laugh went right over the receptionist's head.She didn't realize it was All Fools Day.:eek::D
