The procedure could not go ahead because he was not familiar with the particular procedure to be carried out, and no one was available until tomorrow (thursday)so would I come back.
[Turns out someone in the office noted heart procedure will get Dr A to carry out, not realising it required Dr B who was on holiday and more than capable to do the job]

That must have been upsetting raging bull. I can almost imagine how you must have been feeling running up to the Consultant dropping his bombshell. I have to psyche myself up to have some of my treatments and to then have them cancelled for no fault of my own leaves me feeling sick.

Fingers crossed you will have your surgery tomorrow without a hitch and the outcome will be as you hope.
