"Rheumatology examination"

I wish to express my thanks to both the staff and the consultant rheumatologist for their professional and thorough approach to my well being during this exploratory appointment.

The preceding tests and consultation were performed efficiently and my consideration was paramount thoughout. I was extremely impressed by the consultant's questioning re my past medical history as well as that of my immediate family so that they could ascertain a full picture of my medical state and reassure me as to diagnosis. The physical examination of my joints and movement was equally discerning/thorough and the consultant picked up on many minor niggles which had which had not been discussed.

I think to have this standard of care in our society when professionals, especially in the medical field, are under such pressure is quite unique.We, as a country, are fortunate to have such humanitarian care.
