[QUOTE="Osca, post: 4366542, member: 11501"] I'm receiving a course of treatment at present, and grateful for it. But when I look at time wasted - I have wasted 10 minutes of a doctor's time by being late for an appointment. Against this, just totting it up roughly, I calculate that I have had some 50 HOURS of my own time wasted, with a further 6 or 7 hours to come - plus 7 hours of my daughter's time and 5 hours of a friend's time in running errands which should have been unnecessary; this through GP errors, hospital errors, lack of communication, administration balls-ups; this does not include the waste of NHS resources occasioned by unnecessary nights in hospital, appointments, travel costs, staff costs, or the cost to my firm of my lost labour. When I see doctors blaming patients for wasting THEIR time it makes me furious. Amazingly their sterling work has probably saved my life; but it could easily have undone it's own good work on at least three occasions to date by administrative incompetence. How such a broken machine can work at all I don't know. Its own admin system drags it down like a cancer. [/QUOTE]
