Do NOT go to Bupa to have them 'banded'. Apart from the indignity of having a bloke with a proctoscope looking up your back chuff,it's excruciatingly painful. *faints*
I went to a private hospital to get that done, what you mentioned above. No private health insurance, a 5 min visit cos me over ÂĢ200 and he fooker left me in a lot of pain. I cried all the way AND I had to take 2 buses!!

But have had an op since and am ok now




Did I just really share that...

Did I just really share that..
Yes!  Yes you did!


But as you did... I will tell you my mini pile experience.   I had one... once!  Totally freaked me out...  my bessie mate had suffered horribly with them through her pregnancy... I'd been quite smug that I hadn't had any. 

Then out of the blue, a few years later... I 'discovered'  one lonesome little pile peeping out...    I freaked right out and texted friend saying "what am I gonna do?   I have a date with 'so and so' at the weekend'. 

Her reply  "tie a little ribbon bow on it?"

Reference:
I collapsed in reception on the way out. I had to be given super-painkillers. I drove myself home 18 miles too and had to stop the car about 10 times to hyperventilate and scream.
Hey...I wasn't far from collapsing. I left the hospital with the severest headache ever, walking like a cowboy. Got in a cab to take to a bus stop, then on the next bus.

I cried on the phone to my husband!!

Crept home, up to my bed, laid on my side and cried some more. Cried even more when the bill came as the consultant fee was something like ÂĢ160 - ÂĢ180 for about 1 min of prodding my arse and 4 mins of chat AFTER and I wanted to cry cos I couldn't sit dowm!

Then I got charged about ÂĢ80 for using the room I was seeing the doctor in!!! I told the hospital (when I was arguing about the fee, cos I wasn't told about it), if I knew I was going to be charged for 1 min of lying on a bed (if you call it a bed!!) I would have stayed in the paid taxi while the doc checked my arse!!

Q....  I have dealt with scams like this all the time...

orthopaedic surgeons would divvy up the much demanded procedures (knee surgery being the one I was investigating).    They would make it so that just one consultant would be the designated knee surgery bloke.... and so the waiting list of the that procedure would be miles long.    So... then people off that list would opt to go private... where the same consultant would be doing his private work in the private consulting clinics next door to the hospital.

We stopped it.... we stopped designated lists.   Basically stopped them making the lists long to bump up their private work.

Still happens though...   is why I had to get out in the end... every corner you turned ... more dodgy money making shenanigans!
