@melclarity I hear you girl!! Copped the exact same thing when I was following up on something that should have happened last year..
Its very hard isn't it?? & get this one....
On 12/1 I was rung & booked for surgery for 24/01. Cool I can work with that, rearranged my whole life to do it so quickly, then got a call to attend pre admission 4pm 17/01, ok I can do that as well. Then!! get a call on 16/1 from someone else saying please come to pre admission 9.30am less people & you will be in & out in quick time. Now that was fine as well, I had an appointment in Day Onc that day for my bone injection @ 9.30am which I had changed to 4pm to coincide with the pre admission SO I then had to change that AGAIN!! & this, this is the best bit I am sitting there in pre admission (no in & out record time as promised) & my phone rings its the booking nurse, surprised I am at pre admission & telling me surgery is postponed to 30/01 due to another surgery being booked in for 24/01. Now that is fine but now I can see a pattern because this is the third surgery with plastics this has happened, they book me, 3-4 days later ring & give me new date as another surgery has been booked to take place THEN they ring surgery morning to CANCEL as an emergency has come in. & if it happens again this time it will be the 3rd surgery in a row the exact same thing has happened & I then dont get a new date for months.. Pretty sure its their way of having me off the waiting list to make their reporting look better. I have been on this waiting list for over 980 days now...
Though @melclarity these are non urgent revision I have been having done but still, it doesnt only affect me when they do this, I rearrange my life, temps are called in to cover me at work, my husband arranges leave, its very very frustrating!!
BUT.... I am a BC woman I am TOUGH!!! & I will not be beaten!!
