Isn't it really frustrating when.........

........you've been given a date for admission to hospital, got your bag packed all ready and you're just about to leave when they ring up and say "Oh don't come in today. We don't want you until tomorrow."

I wouldn't mind but at the pre-op last Friday I'd actually said I couldn't understand why they wanted me at 2pm today when my op isn't scheduled until 3pm tomorrow but the doc had insisted that I MUST be there 24 hours in advance! Now they say they don't want me until noon tomorrow!

Now I'll have to unpack my toothbrush again. :rolleyes:

Re: Isn't it really frustrating when.........

they usually do that when there is an emergency thats just come in, unfortunately the cannot predict emergencies, better for them to ring you than having you waiting about on the ward for a bed when there isnt one :)

Instead of complaining, when don't you just go private and thus remove yourself from the NHS waiting list? Then the rest of us who are on the waiting list and are prepared to put up with the occaisional inconveniance might not have so long to wait.

Re: Isn't it really frustrating when.........

There is no emergency. If there had been an emergency I would have fully understood that but this is just the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.

When I went for the pre op last Friday I queried the fact of having to go in more than 24 hours before the op was due and was told I had to, then today just as I was about to go I was told I didn't have to be there today and to stay at home. Go in at noon tomorrow they said.

I've just had a phone call after posting this thread to say that now they want me in at 9am tomorrow.

Pardon me Tealeaf for not being able to afford to go private. I do apologise

Hey with a bit of luck I might turn out to have an inoperable cancer and I'll pop my clogs and then you won't have to worry about me clogging up the NHS waiting list and being an inconvenience to you. I'm sure you'll be glad to see the back of me.

Teabag's probably just a bit grouchy, as he waits for his funny bone replacement operation.;)

Really Tealeaf? How do you figure that?

to pay for imigrants healthcare who have never paid a penny into the nhs or tax system :D

also to pay high wages to pen pushers

if every penny of NI went where it should we wouldnt have half the trouble we have now with the nhs

anyway differnt topic so best leave that one alone lol

Well, if you care to read your history books you will see that Lloyd George and Churchill introduced National Insurance contributions to fund the state retirement pension and unemployment benefit some forty years before the advent of the NHS, so they weren't for that.

Whats your next question?

NI contributions went the same as Income Tax, Death duties, VAT, Exise, betting tax, stamp duty....all into the same government pot. No UK government has ever practised hypothesization, so your NI funded lots of things from teachers to trident missiles, just as booze and fag tax went towards the NHS. No government has committed a set proportion of NI to funding the NHS.

I'll let you have another go.
