Our wonderful NHS - NOT!

Trouble is, just arriving at Emergency Dept they will give you more pain relief if poss, make sure your stable, and discharge you refering you back to your consultant Shirley,  happens all the time we get people calling us in the belief it'll hurry things along, but it really doesn't!!

Good luck again Ron!!

That's sad, first time I made it into emergency with an flu bug and bad diarehea, they gave me an IV..drew samples to make sure what it was, and around Thanksgiving this year I was in severe pain and could hardly walk, feeling like spears were being stuck in my side, (kind of like when I past Gall stones one time, can't do that now...they took it out) they monitored my heart, did blood and urine tests, and ended it with an cat scan. Said I had an intestinal infection. Both times got meds and it was gone withint half an day..but those $3,000 bills for it all leaves us an bit weary. Our doctors over here don't want to see you unless it's for an routine appt, they prefer you go to emergency. I have lab tests papers right now...for taking in April...then an apt with the Cardio docotor to be made there after..usally about an week after the testing so they get the reports beforehand. thsi si on going for me at least every six months an sooner for some of the meds as he's trying out different techniques to lower my tygycerides...until one truly works good for me. They claim the only way they are lowered many times is by walking daily/dieting..hard to do in winter.We still have an chunk of snow on the corner from the pre-Christmas snow storm here.

  For no more cancelled appointements Ron.
