For info this is my Rotator Cuff experience -I saw the GP on 17/1/17, I then had four separate appointments at the hospital for ultra sound/x-ray; scope nurse; pre op assessment; Consultant (on 27/4/17) and am scheduled for the surgery 8/6 - that's S Yorks. I didn't think the time scale was too bad. What did surprise me was that at the latter three appointments there was a 'Support Worker' present at each interview who did buggah all but sit there. Nor did she introduce herself nor say why she was there-until I asked.
