Hospital waiting mystery
I am present sat in wythenshawe hospital writing this post out of sheer boredom and puzzlement.
We have come to this hospital twice in three days and both so far have been disasterous.
First visit – pointless excercise

Anyway we waited there for about an hour before I went to ask how long we could be there for. The receptionist said it could be all day. I explained that we were told to be here early to get straight in but they advised we should of been told that we could of been there all day. Anyway another hour went past before they called our name. We saw the surgeon who said
