[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1510489, member: 11028"] I can fully understand your reasons for wanting to go private, there was a lady on the forum a few years back who did just this and had the opportunity to ask as many questions as she liked about her condition and treatment plan, she eventually was treated privately (it was for a Vitrectomy Operation) and said the care and treatment was second-to-none. Given what the Optician said about the new cotton wool spots and the tiny macular haemorrhage did the gp not offer to speak with the Ophthalmology Clinic and see if you can be seen asap, they can do this if they believe a condition has deteriorated and needs urgent attention, I'd ring them back and ask if they can speak with Ophthalmology and tell your Dr about your exhaustion and anxiety issues. Hopefully if they do see you sooner you can then cancel the private appointment. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
