Last June i was admitted to the hosp with kidney issues. The staff were unreal, amazing. However they ended up finding large cysts on my ovaries and referred urgently. Since then ive had numerous kidney issues likely caused by the cysts. I got the urgent referral in June 24, its now May 25.
Ive gone to 2 private apps to check on the cyst whilst waiting. It has grown significantly, still having kidney issues, pain, constantly on antibiotics. Im at risk of torsion.
The gynae list is ridiculous and im aware others are waiting years, but what will it take? £10,000 surgery or a being blue lighted when my ovary twists or cysts burst?
Not only this, my care app has none of this information, its literally blank. What is going on with our health care system?
Why specifically are females suffering with these waiting times?
I understand staffing issues, our government need to pull their head out of their purses and pay our health care workers the right money and treat them with respect so they actually want to work for the NHS.
Its a disgrace that we all have to wait and watch our health deteriorate!!!!!
