I was waiting for a knee operation at Benenden hospital I finally received my operation date in December after going for two preoperation assessments. On the morning of the proposed operation I was contacted by a staff member saying they could not carry on with my procedure due to a concern with my blood results.As I had a blood test on the 29th of August and one on the 2nd of November I could not understand why this problem with my blood was not picked up before an operation date was issued I've been asked to attend further tests this January.The date for my operation coincided with the funeral of a very dear friend which I had to decline as I had been waiting a good time for my operation in the first place.The worst thing is I could have attended the funeral as I Googled it this morning and it was at 13.30 at Charing,at the time I did not ask for any details of where the funeral was to take place due to my proposed operation.
