Due to have BA with Dr Andrea Giannitrapani today at MYA Fitzroy. Admission time of 9am, taken straight to my room on arrival, which i was sharing with another girl also having a BA with him. Nurse came in and gave me my gown, stockings and slippers and I was told to take a pregnancy test in the bathroom. All piercings removed etc. After an hour and a half, a nurse came in and told me I was third on the list and took the other girl down to theatre. Blood pressure and temperature taken and handed all post-op leaflets.
At 1:30pm (4.5 hours later), a ward nurse came into my room and told me that DR Andrea Giannitrapani had been taken ill and is cancelling all further operations for today and the near future. I was told that my Patient Coordinator would be in touch regarding further op dates. However, I have already been informed that Andrea is fully booked until the new year so unsure how this will be resolved.
Rang MYA Birmingham Clinic and managed to speak with Nicole at Reception who informed me that my PC was waiting for further information from DR Andrea and would ring me when she could. It’s now 5:40pm (4 hours later) and I haven’t received a phone call or email from anyone at MYA. In my personal opinion, I would rather my surgeon came and explained the situation to me directly. I understand that his illness could not be helped, however when so many girls are booking transport, accommodation and time off work, then I feel like a direct apology and attempt to resolve in a timely manner would go a long way.
