At least we know

My wife finally had her scan for her suspected gallstones today. Yes, she has several gallstones but they also found a cyst on one of her ovaries.

Now we have to wait while the letters go through to all the relevant parties before we'll get any idea of how long she'll have to wait for treatment. I hope they can do both at the same time, I'd hate for her to need two operations.

Whilt she was waiting for the scan this morning she got chatting to another waiting patient. He'd been there since 10:30 that morning and when my wife left at 12:40 he was still waiting. His scan required that he have a full bladder so he'd been sitting there busting a gut for the loo for over two hours. Call Amnesty International the NHS are torturing their patients.
