My GP has been brilliant (except for the PITA E-consult system). It's the specialist I was referred to who is a complete waste of time.
I've actually seen him face-to-face for about ten seconds when he apologised at my first appointment with him and said he had just been bleeped and disappeared. I've had three telephone 'appointments' with him where it's obvious that he wants to end the call as soon as he can. I had to remind him during the last call that a follow-up blood test might be a good idea. When I asked him for a prognosis on our first call he replied "Morbidity is 50% at 5 years". That was it.
I've had a CT scan, an MRI, an endoscopy and the blood tests and heard nothing from him, neither has my GP.
I got so P'd off with my requests for info being ignored I jumped through the hoops to get copies of all my records. There is some interesting stuff in there that should affect my treatment but he hasn't told me.
Our next appointment is another call at the end of April and he'd better have his 'arris in gear or I'll be looking at making a formal complaint.
