Our appointment for a video consultation from the country was scheduled for mid-morning. The staff at the community health centre were very efficient and told us that Fiona Stanley Hospital was notorious for being late to appointments.
We waited for one and a quarter hours to no avail and there was another appointment for a video call in 15 minutes so we couldn't wait. I contacted the local telehealth liaison and they were going to contact Fiona Stanley to make another appointment.
As we got home we had a phone call from the surgeon and my spouse was able to talk with them. My problem is that during the video call I believe we would be able to ask more questions and get the answers we require. Plus, I believe there are patients far worse than us that have to sit around and waste time when feeling very ill.
