Jan, I am so sorry to hear of this latest developement with Iain, or lack of developement I should say. That is absolutely disgraceful that he still hasn't seen a consultant, there really is no excuse for that. Bring back the military hospitals, I once put a petition on here calling for just that. Someone said it was untrue that our servicemen and women do not get the best treatment in civilian hospitals, it was all a myth concocted by a disgruntled ex-serviceman, sorry but I beg to differ! My brother was treated in an Army hospital nearly 30 years ago now, without their excellent treatment he would have been dead then and not still alive today.
Iain is right not to sign the consent form until he speaks to the consultant or at least have a registrar explain what the operation entails. I hope they make sure he sees the consultant in the morning first thing, he must be very apprehensive and angry, and who can blame him.
Will be thinking of you all.
Sue
