Re: Bloomin'phone calls

Is there a number on your appointment card to ring deylon?
If so, check it is the same as you have been ringing.

Alternatively, is your appt. at the hospital?
If so, just ring the main switchboard and ask them to put you through to the Eye Dept.

Thirdly, most places now send a text reminder a day or two before your appt. This usually has the option to Cancel written on it.

So don't worry yet, you have another 11 days yet to sort it out.

I went through this also, not for my eyes, but another appointment that I had to get a 6 month needle for, and I was supposed it get it right at the 6 month mark. I couldn't go for the appointment, and do you think I could reach anyone on that damn phone. It kept saying, there was no one to take the call right now, please leave a message, then it was saying that the message boxes were full.....

I go so fed up trying, I just gave up and sent me them a letter (snail mail) as I couldn't even get an email to them.
Eventually they called me and I flipped out on them...they arranged the needle for me the following month. They had no choice as it wasn't my fault.

But, it is sure maddening the way these medical people don't answer their phones anymore.
