As some will know returned to the UK after an industrial injury whilst collecting a load in Germany,requiring surgery. The sorry saga started when my own surgery did not want to see me but told me to go to the William Harvey in Ashford.Three cancelled ops later i finally received the required operation on Saturday a whole 7 days after the accident.Did the op work and was it a success?I dont know i never saw the surgeon.discharged late Monday afternoon i queried what to do about dressing changes and painkillers told to contact my own surgery on Tuesday, earliest apointment is on Friday and for the practice nurse its next Monday. Just toadd insult to injury they called today i was out at the time, demanding to know why i havent made an appointment yet for a check up as i am now 60yrs old. The practice is in St James street.

Here's hoping you are on the mend Guzzler. Perhaps, 'patient centred' equates to myopia?

Guzzler I also hope you are on the mend.
Your story reminds me of when I had the varicose veins in both legs removed. So I did not have to start my climb up the waiting ladder again I had to have mine done up in Norfolk from where I had recently moved back to Dover, I was told to report to the practice nurse for the dressings to be removed after a few days, to put it mildly she was not a happy lady when I walked into see her.
