NHS...No Hope Sunshine!

We had to take Morgan to hospital today to have skin prick tests as he is allergic to peanuts and eggs which is a complete pain in the arse when shopping or cooking as everything seems to contain one or the other and is very worrying in general as food allergies can be very serious. Anyway we had known about this appointment for 6 months and as the prospect of watching your child being poked with needles is not one that any parent relishes, understandably it has been playing on my mind a little, especially over the last week. Also Ross had taken a days leave to be there too so you can imagine my dismay when after an hours wait we were told that they weren't going to do anything and that we should come back in a years time! I knew that long waits for treatment were a problem with the NHS but surely I am not the only one who thinks that waiting 6 months to find out nothing is ridiculous? Suffice to say I was not amused!
