Ambulance came promptly. Checked over and bed in ward within 8 hours.
Suspected Gall stone.
Xray next day ok - no definitive conclusion.
Ultrasound ordered - Why was there await for 2 days for a hospital of this size? This wait is normal. Ultrasound - no definitive conclusion.
MRI Scan ordered - 2 day wait - WHY?
Gall stone confirmed.
On Hot List for operation next day - Fasted - Sorry but too busy
On hot list for next day -Fasted - again sorry too busy! Will see about next day though still not too hopeful.
My point is that by this point my wife had blocked a bed for a week.
A prompt MRI scan would have saved days, as would a prompt scheduled operation.
