Cancellation of surgery

Neurosurgery
January 27, 2023
Having waited for spinal surgery for almost 12 months I was distressed when my appointment for 17th January was cancelled. I understand that this is because UHB Queen Elizabeth has decided to stop all admissions for elective surgery for the forseeable future. This leaves me in considerable pain, limited mobility and reliant on morphine. I cannot afford private surgery and feel abandoned by UHB Queen Elizabeth hospital

QE – There for a reason, good and happy. No fault using it. Didn’t send any information to say it was cancelled. Said my appointment was still at 12pm.

They are over stressed

Parking is a problem which is stressful. Finding your way around is difficult. They could not find paper work for my blood test, which took time. They are over stressed.

Changed my life

January 23, 2023
A year after being seen at City hospital, ended up having an ear infection so went back to my GP and they referred me to the Queen Elizabeth as a last option. They offered me two options, to have the implant or to have the hole in my drum covered. So went for the Bone anchored hearing aid. It has been life changing, everything changed. I don't worry about not being able to hear.

Pretty straight forward and easy

January 23, 2023
In and out of clinic in half hour. Pretty straight forward and easy. Waiting for transport which can take a long time depending on where they are coming from. Been under here for over 3 years. Had a 2 year wait to be referred from Telford but went private initially to Nuffield in Birmingham and then because he needed to operate, he put me on the NHS list and had an operation here. Little complicated. Actual surgery fine but complications.
