NHS
I'm getting physio on the NHS. Woot. I had to wait a week to get to see a doctor (not MY doctor...just a random), who then referred me to the hozza...who took about two weeks to get in touch with me, then another week to wait for an appointment...then about one appointment every 2 weeks for 3 or 4 goes, then a referral to a back clinic...which took a month and a bit to have room for me. In a class of ten people...a ten week course. There have NEVER been more than 5 people in this class. Which means that 5 people fail to show up every week. Today THREE of us made it. Me, who's never missed a class, another woman, who's never missed a class, and a new person.
After waiting THAT LONG you'd think people could turn up to the class. There are others DESPERATE to get on it. And although it's in the daytime..well, 4pm, you could CHOOSE which class time you attended.
I just can't believe it.
But it made for a good class for us, because we could use whichever station we wanted and the two physios, Liz and Fab, had loads of time for us. They reckon that post-Canada they'll call me back for my assesment visit and try to think of other things to do for me, as whilst spinal stability classes have helped me, they're not like a miracle cure or anything, and Fab reckons I've got a disc problem.
But I still can't believe it.
