Aug
2023,
I
visited
Glen
Waverley
PPCC
after
being
referred
by
Monash
Medical
Emergency
due
to
severe
pain
in
my
ear,
which
was
causing
difficulty
in
moving
my
head
and
stiffness
in
my
jaw,
accompanied
by
a
headache
and
dizziness.
I
contacted
Glen
Waverley
and
explained
my
emergency
situation,
requesting
the
earliest
possible
appointment.
They
scheduled
me
for
6:30
PM,
and
for
three
agonizing
hours,
I
endured
extreme
pain
while
hoping
for
some
relief
at
my
appointment
time.
Upon
my
arrival
at
Glen
Waverley
PPCC,
I
received
a
call
while
in
the
parking
lot,
informing
me
that
they
were
running
behind
and
asking
if
it
was
acceptable
for
me
to
come
in
at
7
PM.
Despite
already
being
on-site,
I
proceeded
inside
and
informed
the
receptionist
that
I
had
arrived.
To
my
surprise,
I
was
told
that
my
appointment
had
been
shifted
to
7:15
PM
due
to
the
center's
busy
schedule.
Although
it
was
frustrating,
I
agreed
to
wait.
I
was
then
taken
to
a
room
where
a
nurse
collected
my
details
and
left.
However,
no
one
returned
for
the
next
40
minutes,
and
I
continued
to
endure
severe
pain.
Losing
my
patience,
I
approached
the
reception
desk
to
inquire
if
they
had
forgotten
about
me.
It
was
at
that
moment,
quite
unexpectedly,
that
a
doctor
appeared
and
simply
stated
that
they
are
busy.
All
I
received
from
this
experience
was
the
repeated
phrase,
"WE
ARE
BUSY."
Despite
having
an
appointment
scheduled
for
6:30
PM,
I
left
the
center
at
8
PM
without
receiving
any
treatment
or
relief.
It
is
difficult
for
me
to
comprehend
why
the
center
would
continue
to
book
patients,
especially
those
experiencing
extreme
pain,
if
they
were
unable
to
provide
timely
and
adequate
care.
