Hi @Cassina
Ask to see one (Breast Care Nurse) when you do go into the Breast Cancer clinic at Westmead.
I go there Cassina, yes it is a horrible system .... I do feel for the staff trying to get to everyone .... it all Takes $$$
I travel from Bathurst so 3 + hrs driving then 2.45 appointment then they are running late...... If I ever get out of there before 5.30pm it is a miracle then I have a 3+ hour drive home....
Why did I chose there? to be able to have the best Public system doctor I could. my next appt in Feb is my Last review as I will be over my 5 year time frame....
I had nothing but awesome care through my surgery and immediate after care.
I believe it shows how much we are lacking in funds towards health.
It is not just BCI at Westmead that is like this .... we used to go to RNS for Botox injections for my son's cerebral palsy... appt time 1pm for everyone if you are lucky enough to be first patient off the list going into the Dr did that help ...NO why
Because bloody pharmacy is closed between 1pm and 2pm for lunch, so we all see the DR 1 by 1 then line up and wait for the pharmacy to open to get our script then line up again to go back in to DR for our injections.... we would leave home at 7am and if we were lucky be home again by 10pm .... so it is not just Westmead.
