30 September (Part 2) - NHS on the ball?
Following the report on the NHS having fallen apart for some people
I was asked to bring you better news. No need to go into detail but a case of
unexpected bleeding resulted in a face-to-face appointment with a doctor
within two hours. Darenth Valley a couple of days later for tests and an appointment
for a computerised tomography (CT) scan at Queen Mary’s Sidcup shortly afterwards.
So it would seem that with the right doctor and with the ‘wrong’ symptoms the
NHS may still be working. I hope my new correspondent is given the CT
results without having to wait months as has been reported by some - and me -
and that they are better than expected.
