Well I've spent the morning chasing around to see where things are at, and finally managed to confirm that I have been excepted on the waiting list at priority level H.......whatever that means?
The clinical priority categories are:
E - emergency—patients requiring in hospital surgery;
H - urgent waiting at home;
O - semi-urgent out of hospital; and
A - active review
My Cardiologist is Ralph Stewart at Greenlane. Top bloke; he breaks all the rules for his patients. I've been with him for 15 years. I had the Ross procedure last year. Peter Raudkivi is the best Ross surgeon in NZ.
