Yes, another QQ NHS Threads...
I was on a waiting list for 3 years to get braces from 14years old to 17 years old, I finally got them like a year and a half ago, the general procedure takes 2 years, so I should (as I was told) by the latest have them off in a few months...
About 6 months ago, the Orthodontics dude wrote a letter to another hospital in the city, for a short sweet and easy operation, if it wasn't for health and safety and shit, he could do it within an hour (if I went private with him, and I was loaded, that would be the case)
So it comes up to February, and I finally get an appointment as the other hospital, go to see the consultant there, who says *exactly* the same things that the usual dude says, then says go home, we'll send you a letter in the post for your operation. (Why couldn't I just do this at the other hospital and trust the other consultants opinion [She didn't even look in my mouth, fgs])
This is the climax of my rant..
After being told it would take a month for my letter to arrive to me, I decided to ring up the appointments help-line last week, and was told that I had been booked an appointment for the 24th April (So two weeks away), and I should already have received the letter... um, no, I haven't... So the woman on the other side of the line does some paper pushing and some typing, and then says 'Oh, we forgot.'
Sorry, I know it's a minor operation and shit, but it's the help-line, so that could've been -ANY- operation, imagine you're having some kind of life-changing operation and they forgot to post the letter, and then they say, oops, its two weeks away, kkbai.
Received the letter today, dated the 12 April 2013.
Sick to death of the 'Oh, you can't complain, it's free' Fuck off.
