Luckily I've only ever had two minor ops which needed pre op assessment, when I ha both cataracts done about 7 years ago, had both ops within 2 weeks of the pre ops. Thirteen weeks is ridiculous Shaz, its obvious your paperwork has been put in the wrong tray

Give um some pain lass

i rang the fracture clinic at the RB at 9 this morning, they put me through to admissions where i got an answer machine, left my name, number and patient number and the reason i was ringing, lets see how many weeks it takes them to get back to me now

just had someone ring me, she said the lady that did my pre-op shouldn't have told me it would be 2 weeks, all she should have said to me was 'you will have to wait for a letter'

i now have to ring Burnley

I know how you feel Shaz, but it does numb the pain on here too

maybe you did have the OP but your brain could not handle it and forgot about it..check all your hospital files.

I went to Rossendale Hospital in 1999 to see a Consultant about an op on my upper arm and shoulder and he agreed to operate.

Eleven years later I still have no date for the op and have given up hope but the problem has slowly gone away so maybe it was a good thing I didn't get the op.

I went again today with my wife to see the chest specialist about her asthma and was told the hospital is closing at the end of August.
I hope they take her case notes wherever she finishes up.
