I'm proper p***ed off. Got all the way to hull, got admitted to get told there's no beds. So would have to wait but it could be a 12hr wait. So i discharged myself and I'm going to write my specialist a letter of complaint. It's not on if your admission time is 4pm they should have a bed ready and waiting.
I'll never go back there again. 😡😠
So now I'm back to square one.

Hello,
The ward seemed to be an A&E ward as well as a waiting ward. But I was no prepared to wait that amount of time without a bed. It was ridiculous like I said I'm never going back there again, and the staff's attitude has horrendous.

Having been a morning case who didn't recover as quickly as expected, I guess I've been on the other side of this, taking up a bed unexpectedly. We keep hearing in the news about how hospital capacity is not high enough and they've been running over capacity for months across the country. The hospitals need more funding, that's the long and short of it. It's certainly not realistic to expect people to wait 12 hours in a waiting room in the hope of a bed. I'm sorry you've had this happen to you and I hope your op can be rescheduled.
Completely 100% understand the anger, but t isn’t the consultants fault. I’m assuming under NHS? Think of it this way - there are no beds because perhaps a medical emergency happened and somebody needed surgery and a bed in recovery - truama? Cancer? We don’t know. It’s not because someone’s lapped you on the waiting list - it’s because someone else’s life was possibly in danger. As much as it sucks so much butt, and how angry it can make all of us, there is reason. So it’s not the consultants fault but those who run the NHS - stop giving them such massive bonuses and maybe sort out the lack of beds and space haha. I probably sound like a knob, I’m waiting for a lap too and it’s been a good few months. It’s getting worse but I can’t do anything but sit and wait. All in time though
hi sam.
really sorry to hear how things went yesterday 
ive seen your previous posts and know how anxious you have been. ive just had a total hysterectomy bilateral salpingectomy and unilateral ooperectomy with endo excision age 37. ive had to wait 9 months for my operation from pre op and god has it been the most awful wait ever. when i got to hospital i had to wait nearly 5 hours for a bed but they started to prep me and kept calling me in and out to take details and speak to the surgeon etc whilst i waited. when they did find a bed it all happened pretty quickly then cause in no time at all i was in my gown and then straight down to theatre. i think whoever said a 12 hour wait was wrong because there wouldnt be any surgery time left by then. my previous op i did sit and wait 7 hours and then they cancelled because they ran out of theatre time to successfully do my procedure. i was completely devastated. i was sat in my gown and stockings all that time. i kept asking the nurses cause i had a feeling it wouldnt go ahead but they were still hopeful. i just broke down. it was all too much. all of the organising that goes with it : work, kids, partner booking time off etc, etc and it was for nothing. looking back i was pleased they didnt try to squeeze me in last minute as they wouldnt have done a thorough job but at the time i was angry. i know in the heat of the moment i could very easily have done the same but unfortunately it wont get us sorted any quicker. i know you were concerned about staying in longer, lets face it, none of us really want to be there, but if its what is needed, and you need to, everyone else will manage and things will sort themselves out. everyone i spoke to said i would need to be in for different lengths of time ranging from 3 /4 days to on the day saying overnight. in the end i did have some issues with my blood pressure and catheter so that alone made my stay an extra night but it is better to be there where they can deal with any problems quickly. the last thing you would want is to rush home when realistically you are not ready and something happen at home. i really do understand how you feel. hope this helps x
Cancelled op!
Can the pill hide endo for laporoscopy?
