Lady a couple of months ago came in. Had been to orthopod clinic on a
particular day. Waited 2 months re. her back. Not bad she thought.
At the desk in outpatients she handed her card, and sat down. The
receptionist eventually returned, but you are not on the list. But the date
is correct the patient said.
Eventually the penny dropped.
A year early.
