Rung up to day to book my lad an appointment to get new braces

He broke the other ones during half term (before any one says anything i am paying £80 for new ones)


Any who i asked if i could have the last appiontment of the day as i dont want ds to miss a whole day of school for a 20 minute appointment


The sodding lady on the phone CLEARLY said " we like to try and keep the last appiontments empty because the nurses like to go home early on a friday Confused WTF wouldnt be all

Its not as if it closes at 8pm the last clinic is at 3:45 Shock

I challaned her and said what did you just say you purposley keep the last slot emepty do every one can leave early she tried to back track and say she didnt say it when i told her i was on a iphone and had recored the phone call he relented and booked the slot WTF is going on in the NHS ffs shoddy shoddy shoddy oh is a nurse in private hospital and he could never ever get away with this i think most people dont even relise the clinc is open till 3:45 because they have been strearing people to lunch time appointments cant ruddy believe it

Yes it's appalling. But so is your lack of punctuation - that post is very hard to read....

Sorry but if the clinc closes at 4 and the last slot is at 3:45 then thats when the last slot is end of.


They are the ones who set the hours of operation and i dont think its to much to ask to book a slot when they are OPEN if every one left work early because it was friday the uk would come to a hault

Yanbu, ignore the bitchiness. I'm surprised they said that on the phone though, very unprofessional.

This will not end well. It's off to such a start already.

Did you really record the phone call? If so, you need to tell people they're being recorded at the start of the conversation. If not, you were lying. Nice.

I don't understand why if his appointment was in the middle of the day he has to miss a whole day of school? I can clearly remember having orthodontic appointments whilst I was in school, my mum would provide me with a note, I'd leave half an hour before, walk down to the dentist, have my appointment and walk back to school Hmm

Perhaps what they mean is that the nurses may actually for one day a week leave on time - how many clinics run to time? Not many I imagine, maybe by leaving the last slot free they stand more chance of actually finishing by 4:00?

Was just about to say this.

Doesn't matter if you recorded her, if she wasn't warn beforehand then your "evidence" isn't worth anything.

You recorded the call?
It's sounds annoying Op, but these small things are sent to try us.
You sound unreasonably angry.

I'm not sure why you're getting negative reactions. Yanbu, 4pm finish is early enough. Woman clearly had mush for brains, both to say that in the first place & then to believe you were recording the call!

Good thinking saying you were recording it too! Yes it's a white lie, but they were lying first (they started it, ner ner Grin)
