A visit that might have been avoided

"A visit that might have been avoided"

About: Royal Shrewsbury Hospital / General medicine

(as the patient),

First attendance at RSH was brilliant – organised, professional.

Today, less so – longer wait and contrary to arrangement Dr Bramtne had written to my GP rather than me with results of chest CT scan, so today's visit might have been avoided. A week ago, not having received the letter I left a message on voice mail hoping either to avoid unnecessary appointment for me, leave a space for someone else, but no reply, so I didn't attend.
