I have had ongoing ear problems for 8 months and was eventually able to get an appointment with an ENT consultant. I had an MRI scan around 4 weeks prior to the ENT appointment. It was clear on entering the room the consultant had not looked at the scans as he asked me " have you had your scan" I sat down and he brought up 3 scans upon his computer screen. He flicked through them and possibly took 3 seconds on each. No exaggeration. He then said there did not appear to be anything amiss in the scans, although I read the report myself on the NHS app and there were 2 areas that stood out for me but he did not explain. I told him I'm not imagining this pain however he did not offer any advice on what it may be or to whom I should turn to next. All he offered was to return in the summer for a hearing Test. During the meeting he did not once look in the affected ear, in my throat or my nose. I was left very disappointed and the meeting lasted all of 10 minutes. I have sat suffering in silence however I am not prepared to do so any longer. The consultant in my opinion showed no interest in my well being and showed a total lack of interest.
