old man Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Best guess what happens if something goes wrong privately. A 999 call and a fob off to the NHS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both under the NHS Well done you and I hope they have both been a success , Did you have to wait long after your referral ? , I have spoken about the service I have from our local hospital and I cannot fault it. Only last week I had an appointment at the dermatology ward as I had a growth or something growing near my eyelid and giving me a bit of stick , one lady looked at it and checked me over and another lady took some photos and said the doctor will get in touch , today I had a phone call dinnertime to ask if I go to the hospital at 9.30 Thursday morning to hopefully have it removed , now that is very good service , MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
