Hello I was sent to the urology dept to have an aspiration on my right kidney. My first appointment was on Thursday 03/12/2015 for which I addended , but was told after an hour of waiting that this has been cancelled. This was a morning appointment at 11.30 which would have involved me staying in the hospital for 4 hours post operation, so would be leaving the hospital early enough to get a bus home.
On the following Monday still not hearing anything I contacted PALS and eventually give an appointment for Wednesday 09/12/2015 at 14.30. This I figured with the 4 hour post operation observation would mean being stranded in Nuneaton with no bus home. I had no option but to cancel this appointment, and was told in a surly manor that I would now be put at the back of the waiting list.
I am off work at the moment due to the pain and fear that if I have to wait too long that I will lose my job
"Kidney aspiration."
