Just had my wisdom teeth out - well yesterday.
Must just commend the NHS style of doing things... when you arrive early (like an hour early) they put you to the top of the queue - so I thought yooohoooo I get to go first. Then this woman comes in also early and starts making a fuss about this that and the other so she gets bumped to the top of the queue. Then they decide that since mine is the whammy of all they have to do that day (3 compacted wisdom teeth) I shall be going last.
So I arrived at 12pm... had my operation at 2pm and left the hospital at 7pm (that was down to complications though!). While I was a tad annoyed about this... I honestly cannot fault them for aftercare services... i had a bit of a seizure while coming out of the operation and it was all a tad hair-raising - the doctors and nurses kept me there for so long afterwards to see if I was fine. They have then phoned me three times today to see if I have any chest pains due to the pummeling they apparently gave me! (no...just some fantastic bruising! lol ).
So thumbs up to the NHS... and I really mean that.
They must sort out their hospital gowns though... too long and tooooo ugly!

In love there are two things - bodies and words.
