Sorry for another pointless thread, but just want to know you experience with the NHS physio, coz I am not happy and after speaking to a couple of friends, I am thinking of having a word with someone at the hopsital. I am gonna see Michael hopefully next week, so it probably won't matter, but still, it's not the point, the point is I have paid my taxes and expect a little better. And they have wasted enough of my time to finally let me down. I could have gone private had I known they are actually a complete waste of time.
I have torn my ACL on 24 Dec last year and after all those fiddling X Y and Z, I finally got to see a physio 3 weeks ago, my treatment was meant to be extensive, but I have seen her twice, all she has done is to do the same exams, ask the same questions and show me more and more exercises to do at home without ensuring I can and will do all of those correctly. I am due to see her again in 2 weeks time which I probably won't be bother to turn up coz it's a complete waste of time. Once every 2 weeks to be told to do more moves I can easily find on google is not proper nor extensive physio to my standard. Is it just my physio or has the NHS actually gotten that cheap and bad? By the way, she is gonna want to refer me back to the ortho docs for surgery as soon as from my impression. Do they actually get paid more if they cut more people open?
Sorry for the moaning but I am getting more more angry everyday.
