[QUOTE="titchy_lou, post: 920164, member: 62582"] I'm not sure if I've put this is the right thread... Basically, my GP wants to refer me to a specialist regarding my IBS. For some reason or other, he referred me to a semi-private hospital, so that I could be seen quicker. I found out today that this hospital has rejected the application for my referral (for a problem that has nothing to do with my diabetes) because I have type 1 diabetes. As a result, I now have a "94 day" wait for an appointment. This is incredibly unfair, in my eyes. For the past month, I've been in agony, I've been in a&e, and nothing is helping me to get better. I NEED to see someone. I'm going to try to find out more information, regarding the rejection, but this doesn't sound right to me - especially as the problem I'm being reffered about, is irrelevant to my diabetes. Is there anything I can do? Is it worth writing to the hospital? [/QUOTE]
