I was going to say similar Sue! Perhaps the Consultant was held up in theatre before the clinic started, or perhaps during the clinic he had to give a patient or even more than one patient some upsetting news... Unfortunately this is the nature of the beast in O/P clinics.


You could contact PALS if you feel it warrants a complaint: http://www.kch.nhs.uk/patients/services/pals/






Edited for stoopid spelling;-)

Had an appointment at the fracture clinic once at 8am - did not get seen until 1pm. I just supposed that they did not deliberatley keep me waiting and read a book!


Just remember that before the labour government got in you would have been sat at home waiting for 3 years before even going in to get seen!

My ma has just had a full month of radiotherapy, not only a bus-train-bus trip for a 72 year old, but also regularly waited 1 hour, 2 hours even after having a timed appointment. Difficult, the place was really busy, the staff lovely and caring after eventually going in, and she is thankfully on the mend. Not so long ago it would have been a different story...

I have been very impressed with the paediatric A&E - they were brilliant with my 2am unannounced arrival a couple of weeks ago.


Can't say the same about the prenatal scanning though - I know its the best in the world etc, etc but hours and hours of waiting in a hot room with not enough seats when you are pregnant is vile. I don't understand why they run so late, even when you have, say a morning timed appointment. I never had that problem with Tommies.

The Car park is a massive problem but they can't get planning permission from Lambeth to build a multi storey. If EVERYONE wrote to lambeth Council Planning department and demanded they give permission, they would have to take notice. I'm a motorcyclist so I could give a damn.

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
