You couldn’t make it up !!!!

Monday 6th December 2010

On 1st July I had an appointment to see the Back Man.

He said “I see from your records you had a MRI scan in September (2009). I’d like you to have an up-to-date one done and also some x-rays on your back. I’ll see you again once they’ve been done”.

For once the NHS was on the ball and on 13th July I had the said MRI scan and x-rays.

I then waited, waited and waited for a follow-up appointment to see the Back Man. One eventually arrived for sometime in November.

Shortly before the appointment I received a letter from the hospital to say the November appointment had had to be cancelled but they had given me another one for Tuesday 4th January at 2.30pm.

Today I received two letter from the hospital. The first one said that an appointment had been made for me to see the Back Man on Wednesday 5th January at 3.05pm. No mention was made of the previous days appointment…

The second letter said that the Wednesday 5th January’s appointment had had to be cancelled and another one had been made for Wednesday 2nd March.

Provided the hospital doesn’t change the appointment again, when I go and see the Back Man in March, it’ll be nine months since I had the second MRI scan.

So much for getting an up-to-date MRI scan !!!!
