I have been attending gynaecology @ RAH for some time now and still I feel I am no further forward and have no true answers to my symptoms or plan of care. I was under a consultant that was due to retire and I feel like I was not fully listened to or fully investigated with regards to my symptoms. It felt like the consultant was not dealing with my situation appropriately. I started on a course of hormone therapy which did help with some of my symptoms but I had also asked many time if I should be scanned to ensure there was nothing else going on and it was definitely umbilical endometriosis that I was dealing with as this was a big concern of mine. I was informed this was not required. I then received a clinic appointment to see a Doctor in mid Sept 2024 I attended. I finally felt like I was being heard and a plan was in place although I had to stop my treatment with a view to attending for an MRI in February to allow a definitive plan of care to be put in place. I have called a couple of times to chase things up since February to be told I had to wait for my appointment. I then called mid June and spoke to a secretary only to be told that there were no clinic notes on the system for the appointment I attended in September and therefore an MRI would not have been requested. I was distressed when I heard this. I was informed that an appointment would be arranged within a month to see the Doctor. I have received an appointment via post today for an October appointment which has left me totally distraught. I feel so let down and frustrated with the whole situation. I have been struggling through life as my symptoms have a huge impact on my daily living. This is now impacting on my family life, mental health and I worry as a medical professional working within the NHS it will start impacting my working life as I have done my best to struggle through work and not be off because of this. I would be more than grateful if there is anyone that can help with my care.
