"waist of time"

About: Queen's Hospital, Burton Upon Trent

Today my wife had an appointment with a Dr after having a cataract operation. The appointment was for 1:10pm. After 45 mins a nurse took my wife into a further waiting room and put some drops into her eye. After a further one hour 15 mins she was told that the doctor had been dubble booked and therefor we had no alturnative but to leave and wait for another appointment. I am sure you would agree that this is not really acceptable. We have wasted half a day as we have to travle from uttoxeter.I felt that you should know this and hope that my wife's next appointment will be more succsesfull.
