I had a bicycle accident just over a year ago and broke my hip. I had an emergency operation to insert rods into my femur with a pin to hold it while it healed. I have since recovered pretty well but I am still in some pain. The pain is caused by the pin in my hip rubbing against my muscles so I now need it removed. Normally it would just stay in.
I told my consultant that I had private medical insurance but she said she thought I would be better served at a hospital that handles a lot of fractures. She said private hospitals are fine for regular hip replacements but not so much for this.
i am not sure what to make of this. I know private consultants all work in the NHS too. Please can anyone advise me?

I could go private but consultant advises against it

Find out the name of the consultant he would refer you to, and then approach his private secretary
