I'm waiting for a hip replacement but that won't happen till next year now, due to Covid. Yesterday I met a guy with the same problem who said he'd seen a Consultant privately and has been offered a hip replacement on the NHS at a hospital nearby, in eight weeks' time. I know he wasn't lying but I can't get my head round this. If it's just a case of paying for one consultation to pave the way to an NHS operation why aren't more people doing it? And is it ethical? Has anyone any experience of this?
