Shocking?


*Ant*

Recommended Posts

Just had this email from my mother which i've copied and pasted. Would be interesting to know others thoughts?

 

"I didn't tell you, did I, that they said it we don't hear in 4 weeks give them a ring, then the next day, his Macmillan nurse rang to ask if he'd got private health insurance, and he said no. She then said if he paid £300 he could see the oncologist on Thursday, that was last week. God was I livid. Trained by the NHS, working in a NHS hospital, using NHS equipment and instead of seeing a NHS patient because he's got a spare appointment, wants to line his own pocket. £300 to discuss radiotherapy. xxx"

Just another example of the catastrophic mismanagement of public finances, resources and services.

I could tell you stories of mismanagement is several public bodies that have cost the taxpayer billions but alas, not while I still need a job.

So whats new ?do you think bupa dont use the same consultants as the NHS ?

The consultants are paid to work for the NHS for x amount of hours the rest they go private .

Intereesting if you can fathom it out ,is a consultant working day 4 hours? It makes sense if it is going by the numerous consultant appointments the mrs had in the past

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

Sod it i'll pay the £300 and just write to parliament asking them to reimburse me. They can take it out of next years foreign aid budget and some despot leader will just have to give the pilot of his private airlinner the afternoon off.

I was seeing a specialist at our local hospital.

 

On one occation i had to call his secretay to rearrange an appointment. I was given her number so rang her.

 

Blah blah blah, how did you get this number, the reception gve it to me. mor blah blah blah. Aree you a paying patient, NO i said. then her attitude changed, the snotty cow said " im Mr Wrights personal secretary for private patients " you will have to contact the appointment office.

Is that St. Mary’s Ant? I ask because they did exactly the same to my Mum who was waiting to see the Cardiologist, I did the same as you and paid, shortly after her appointment I got his bill and paid it, a week or so after that I also got an invoice for the use of the consultation room and for the ‘hire’ of the Nurse who was waiting on him BUT, they did say she could get free parking but has a blue badge anyway.
