I understood that cataracts removed due to opacity. I did not know that lens gets larger with age, and my right one is extra large and may block eye's internal drainage when pupils are dilated for examination. The laser holes in iris are also to prevent any blockage until the lens can be removed. The possible bleed and need to redo the holes are rare - though redoing the holes might be necessary if depending on them for a few years.
Not having to go as much now

Fine, not having to go as much now. Broke my hand, went to A&E. Long wait. Got 10am and left at 6pm. As long as I was seen I don’t care. They kept me informed and staff was good.
they provide better care than GP’s

Turned away, went to hospital closest to me
March 15, 2023
I was told to go to the nearest hospital which was Queen Elizabeth at the time. I tried to go to the A&E and they told me I had to go to Heartlands as that was the closest to my home address. Good job it wasn't a proper emergency. I don't know if it was because it was busy but I needed attention for an allergic reaction. They told me to go to a Badger Clinic.
