2nd visit,first a couple of years ago got no treatment ,they said it was due to kidney problems so just left to deteriorate.This time told the same thing but was informed I would be refered to Good Hope as-surprise surprise-I can now hardly walk.On a whim I phoned after just over 2 weeks to see if referal had been made,it hadn't,but by an amazing coincidence it was top of the pile of letters to be sent today.This is just a standard letter,when it does get sent I then still have to wait for an appointment at Good Hope.As far as I can see the cottage hospital is simply a total waste of NHS money.The whole atmosphere was a laid back any time will do one.
