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.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
