There are doctors and then there are dicks! (6/12/2013)
Late afternoon, just as I was getting concerned the orthopaedic unit had not called, the phone rang. Surgery requirement confirmed by doctor about the break shown in xrays and CT. Dr was operating under assumption I was booked in, but still not. Another call and a humourless admin person finalised surgery booking for 9/12/2013, with potential overnight stay. Admission at midday with nothing to eat or drink from 7:00am. Dawning on me at this point I can't use my credit cards (in person) because it's my writing hand that is broken.
