"Very Helpful Understanding GP "

I contacted my GP about my severe hip pain and how I have been suffering for about 6 months. I am unable to do my job properly and I told her I was extremely worried I may lose my job. As a result of the stress my ulcerative colitis was starting to flare up also. I told her I had had an MRI and an x-ray which both showed arthritis in my hip and that this required surgery. I explained I wasn't able to wait 3-6 months for surgery because of the pain. My GP was extremely compassionate, showed empathy and agreed to assist to get me seen for surgery. Within days of seeing my GP, I was contacted by Central Middx Hospital with a date for hip replacement surgery. I was contacted by the pre-op team and the physio team. I am extremely grateful to my GP for acting so swiftly to help me.
