Waiting times are long
March 17, 2022
Waiting times are long. A couple of weeks ago went with my mother and we went at 7pm and got home at 3am. She had heart problems and I was worried she would have a heart attack but they took that long. We had no food because my mom didn’t want us to leave her alone. The service provided when she met with the doctors was good but the waiting was bad. That’s why old people don’t want to go to hospital. This is a stigma. They don't treat them anyway because they think they are dying.
Had to wait for 3 hours

I went to A&E with back pain and had to wait for 3 hours before I was seen. The doctor was very kind and helpful.

District nurses visit daily to dress a non-healing wound. Permanent painkillers to help cope. Surgeon does not even have a list according to his secretary. Losing hope.

A referral was sent pre pandemic to Urologists. Another sent April 2021. My gp has escalated it 4 times. I received a letter to book. I couldn't. When I finally got through on the phone I was told it was a minimum 52 week wait. Due to the issues I have with my bowel & bladder I am now unable to leave my home & had to engage with the Bladder & Bowel community for help and advice. I am still waiting for an appointment.
