Long wait and didn't get to see the consultant

"Long wait and didn't get to see the consultant"

About: The Princess Royal Hospital / Ear, Nose and Throat

(as the patient),

Due to see an ENT consultant for a lump in my neck. I was sat for 1 1/2 hours in a corridor, didn't see the consultant, only a member of their team. After all that time, I was told the doctor didn't know what the lump was and would need to wait for a scan. Passed these comments on to PRH next day.

I'm still waiting for the scan, but after the appointment both my husband (who was with me) and I went down with the flu bug. Was the reason for this the long wait in the corridor around people coughing? However, I couldn't fault the nurse or volunteers.
