>> As a general principal, no of course doctors dont read your hospital letters, they don't have time to routinely sit down and read all the communication and memorise the contents.
I'll find out shortly, I had an echo a few weeks ago and the hospital's GP letter, from a consultant I have never seen, says the scan was "normal" apart from some ectopics, with no actual data given which is unusual. I take this to mean my heart is no longer enlarged and my mitral valve as a result has stopped letting most of the blood back through. This would be good news of course but my heart is far from normal and I half expect the GP to try and cancel my prescription. I shall be be straight on to my usual consultant who has already told me I will relapse in 6 months if I stop the tablets.
