"cancellaton of operation"

About: University Hospital Lewisham

My friend, an 81 year old widow, fractured her right wrist on Wednesday May 29th., she was seen in the fracture clinic on Monday June 3rd. and told she needed a re-manipulation with possible internal fixation. Since then the operation has been cancelled seven times! I wonder if this is a record, but suspect unfortunately that it isn't.
