Type 2 Life

Badger your GP to death from NOW......
 
Just hope there not like my hospital William and it takes weeks not days to send results to your gp

Having worked for the NHS as a Nurse for over 30 years, I am just stunned that they could not give me a simple Yes OR No. I used to always answer to the best of my ability if a patient (or Relative) asked me a direct question. I am just so disappointed and feel the NHS is going down the drain - it's so very sad really!! Guess I will just have to "hobble" about for the next 7 to 10 days and avoid all open doors!!! Thank You ALL for your kind words. William x

How's your knee this afternoon, @liam1955 ?
Oh no, poor William! Injured knees are so painful, aren't they? Keep harassing your GP and you'll probably get an answer faster... Hugs xx
 
I have a friend who's a radiologist and she says they're not allowed to give out results as they aren't medically qualified. The X-rays have to be examined by a doctor or consultant... Covering their backs, I guess.
 
I'm very sorry to hear that, Ron. I hope the ophthalmologists can help.
Big hugs.
 
@liam1955 give it 2 days then call gp for emergency appointment. Tell him/her getting worse.
Just keep in mind they will mention arthritis as well.
Could this be aggravated arthritis due to the knock? As I too would like to think if broken gp is last person to do anything about it.
I think if broken they send you back to sit in a&e for a cast.

Well, it had better be, for their sake!
This is my passion. Medical negligence. I wanted to work for nhs when I was first studying.
I have to make a decision soon. Study to be a dietician or law degree and see what happens after that.
We're with you on this one William.
 
Just had a catch up on here

Best wishes to @liam1955 & @eldergarth and @eddie1968

Not going in until 8am work till 4
I asked to take an hour back on Thursday and finish early which was granted

Ok tek care folks
 
So. If a person comes from gp with broken back or neck, they are x-rayd and sent away? Would they not most likely die?
There must be some safety measure in place.

@liam1955 they are treating it as not urgent, nor life threatening. So it must be, eh?
 
This article is one of the best about maculopathy @eldergarth and might help you to understand the condition.
Don't try and get your blood sugars lower too fast as it will aggravate the condition.

I hope that you get this sorted and feel better soon.
 
@ickihun - Vicky, in case I forget 'Good Luck' for Wednesday and I hope it is productive? Let us know how you get on . If I give you my phone number for the Surgery - will you hound them for me?
 
Thank you Cumberland
 
Suspected broken back or neck would leave the surgery on a spinal board in an ambulance to a&e!!
