I had an appointment for 11 am on 27th March at orthapedics and trauma.
On arrival at 10:55 the waiting time , which is written on a board showed that there was a forty minute delay.
Oh well o least I know I thought
70 minutes later nothing !
I asked the nurse on duty where I was in the queue and after a long search through paper work they informed me I was 5th in line to see the doctor or in terms of time another 40 minutest wasn't convinced my papers were there to be honest .
Being the polite person I am I didn't complain but told the receptionist I could wait any longer as I had another appointment else where.
The notice board should portray a honest account of what the situation is at the time.
Decided to go private (through work) ,
Prior to this I had an x ray, which I heard one staff say to another
" are you sure you have the right patient "
Worrying!!
"A long wait"
