Genuinely in need of comments and advice on how you deal with the emotional fall-out of the chaos which is the NHS. I couldn't even begin to relate the number of crazy letters, cancelled appointments, differing pieces of advice and dubious tests that DH has suffered over the past twelve years. Recently this has all accelerated and the final straw was two cancellations of the procedure that he is due for - the second of which was not confirmed until the day of admission and only when he chased it on the phone. We have now been told that a slot cannot be found for him until 'before the end of the year'. This is an operation with a four week convalescent period which obviously involves some reorganisation of your life. AIBU in feeling very angry about this? I am fully aware that there are people out there with much more serious issues and worse stories to tell. My main question is how do you get your head round the way the NHS treats you? Am finding it very hard to live with my anger and frustration! (I have suggested we investigate paying but he won't go there.)
