In my opinion, the structure at Royal Perth Hospital is getting worse by the minute no matter what department (despite in this circumstance an Endoscopy Suite ward clerk claiming it's the doctor not them).
I had a colonoscopy done at Armadale Hospital in November 2025 and they said that they had to put in an urgent procedure request to Royal Perth Hospital to complete an urgent Colonoscopy and EMR which they did not have the same level of abilities to complete the more complex procedure otherwise they would've done it then and there.
This is the second time my appointment has been cancelled because the first time Royal Perth Hospital contacted me that only gave me 2 days notice which is not enough time for bowel preparation for the procedure. I believe the Endoscopy Suite should know this as this is their area of expertise, if the structure there met basic standards and cannot you the doctor as an apparent excuse for everything!
With the second appointment date they have sent me, it will now be more than 3 months since my they received my referral from Armadale Hospital for an urgent procedure, and my symptoms are not showing any signs of stabilizing and is a serious health risk to me in areas as a result of secondary symptoms such as diarrhea and constipation.
"Delay of an urgent procedure!"
