Zero stars

I'm waiting for spinal surgery. I cancelled the first one as I had Covid then late last year I had been all marked-up for my operation and the surgeon asked if I was nervous, when I said yes he told me that's OK as he was "still drunk from last night". I wasn't sure if it was just boy's banter but I waited five hours and then a nurse told me it was cancelled as he'd gone home sick. The next time I went in early this year I started being marked-up and the surgeon was doing the wrong vertebrae numbers, I had to correct him. Later on the operation was cancelled as he told me he was unsure about the sound of my chest but there was lots of anaesthetists off sick anyway. I've had no further communication since. I've lost confidence in that consultant anyway, I don't feel like he'd do the operation safely. I'm waiting for shoulder surgery which can't be done until I've had my spine op. My shoulder consultant called the spine secretary while I was with him and I could tell from the conversation that I've been taken off the waiting list. I asked if that was the case and he told me the secretary will be in touch which hasn't happened. I'm in a lot of pain.
