"Disappointing"

The audiologist was excellent in every respect. However, I had expected to see a specialist rhinologist, as recommended by the ent consultant on Nov 17, and not the same consultant again. Perhaps that is why this time the consultation was brisk and he did most of the talking rather than asking probing questions. Despite the fact that I have had 5 polypectomies, he went on about the dangers to eye and brain of such an operation and said that he personally had been involved in one that caused such damage. This was surprising, scary and the opposite of reassuring. I had to accept his opinion that the polyps were not yet bad enough for operation and that I must continue with the same cyclical medication that temporarily eases but does not cure the periodic hearing loss, catarrh and congestion, and loss of smell. I was surprised when I asked how/when a decision should be made that an operation was necessary, he replied that it was up to the GP. Yet he is the ENT specialist. I feel the consultation merely endorsed the status quo. When I am referred again, I would want to see a Pindersfield ENT rhinologist, not the same Omnes health ent consultant. Very disappointing, especially after the more positive, thorough and informative consultation of last November.
