Don't feel bad. The consultant who saved his life probably doesn't even have a clue that you have been having problems. You're a victim of the "dragon at the gate" who treats all patients like they're just numbers. I'm happy that the paed consultant is now on the case. Hope this gets results.
Hi sorry for the rant! His paed consultant rang back and she is now on the case! she is going to call me 2moro with a plan of action and she is also trying to hurry his appointment through! i felt bad like i had done the dirty on his consultant who saved his life , but at the end of the day he is my baby and i want the very best care for him :) x
I hope this other doc calls you back on Monday. Ask her to push the other hospital for an update. I agree all the way with Erin Lyn. Keep us posted.
Im in the uk , i had a letter a few months ago from her saying that she has requested an update on jacob a number of times and the other hospital havent been in touch . it then said if we needed her help at all then to ring her. i have rang now and left message and they assure me that she will call back on monday as she is not in. im not bothered by the treatment i just want someone to tell me what is going , im sure they cant just send you the results of an MRI scan and then tell you that the next appointment will be in september! x
hch - you say: "i have even thought about ringing his paed at another hospital." Can you do this under the terms of the National Health? If so, then go for it. You need a sympathetic doctor who can explain things to you. I'm assuming you're under the NH. If you're a private patient somewhere then shout and scream until you get answers.
oh by the way he was supposed to have been seen in january but no appointments were available so they said april and suprise suprise no appointments
