I work in the NHS, as most have guessed on here, she has gone private. I imagine she has Bupa cover, only way you’d get such a quick appointment, our NHS waiting list for a foot operation is months at mo, and despite what she says, it can’t be that serious as she is always wearing heels, so it could even be over a year or more in her case. Covid has caused a massive backlog, she has deffo gone private, they might not even cover all the expenses, so wouldn’t be surprised if she has an additional payment for this. Not bad for a bankrupt
Would love to know what her injury actually is, and one that requires an urgent op, as I’ve seen little sign of her having problems with her mobility over the past year.
