'Going private'

My workplace has managed to enrol me on their private health scheme. I have to pay a premium, but I'm sure it will be worth it.

The helpline point me in the direction of 6 hip and knee specialists who work across 2 hospitals near me. I choose who I want, call their secretary, and they book me in for a consultation in a couple of days time. Brilliant!

I see the consultant for half an hour and ask him lots of questions. After examining me he's not sure what's going on. It could be a combination of things, but he cannot tell. The MRI arthrogram will reveal all - nothing can hide.

I ask how long I'll be waiting to get booked in and he replies: 'oh just pop round the corner to Radiology and they'll book you in for next week'...
