"Shambles"

Had a lump in my neck which took me seven days to get an appointment. Attended appointment with a doctor who said it’s possible lymph nodes reacting or cancer.

Urgent blood tests required for cancer testing which only available appointment for urgent was 13 days after original appointment.

Bloods taken. That appointment was absolutely fantastic and that nurse is a credit to her profession!

We are 8 days on from my bloods being taken I still don’t have a result.

I called after 5 days in which I was told by a receptionist they’ve arrived but a doctor has yet looked at them however she thought they looked ok.

Now when is a receptionist a qualified blood technician?

You wonder why people get misdiagnosed or find out they have cancer far too late in the diagnosis stage? This is why. The NHS and its “under paid doctors” not dealing with actual medical issues for there patients.
