Got a letter to attend Hospital a couple of weeks ago so I had to phone and check it was for me and not one of my sons as it had no first initial on letter. they said it was deffo me. got a phone call yesterday just to check I was keeping My appointment and I said yes.
So got up early this morning had a shower a shave and made sure I left the house early so rush hour traffic did not effect me arrived at hospital before 9am appointment was at 9.15 so sat and waited 20 mins or so then got call to first person to see me, sat and went through my details everything ok till she asked what was wrong with me I said I just got a letter to attend about my eyes then she read more in my notes and said my doctor had got a letter from my optician about cataracts. I said I don't have cataracts I don't even have an optician. but I am registerd partially sighted.
so we check everything again and find out My Doctor got a letter from someone elses optician put it in my folder and someone made me the appointment. so elsewhere there is some poor fecker who will have to wait ages for another appointment.
so they checked my eyes anyway, since I was there and had not had an examination in years. then I was asked to wait to see consultant he examined me then his assistant examined me then one of his collegues examined me then I had to go see a nurse to get urine and blood pressure took.
and the outcome of about 2 fecking hours of people shining lights putting drops in my eyes is.
feck knows still as blind as a bat and none the wiser.
I'm just delighted I did not get some poor B*stards letter to get a testicle removed or something worse.
