"Awful waiting time"

About: Aberdeen Royal Infirmary / Gynaecology Services

(as the patient),

Currently in desperate need of a laparoscopy after 6 months of chronic pain resulting in long term absence at work and heavy painkillers. This is really affecting my daily life, trying to raise 2 small children, and I have been told I will be waiting a year from now for this procedure meaning I will be on this high dose of medication during this time and potentially will lose my job. This length of waiting time given my circumstances and pain I am in is completely unacceptable. I am now, unsurprisingly, also on antidepressants.

Dear airkc66

I am sorry to hear of the length of time you have had to wait for a laparoscopy which is causing you continued pain and resulting in you taking antidepressants. If you contact me by e-mail or telephone with your contact details I can look into your particular circumstances and get back to you personally.

Kind regards

Margaret Meredith
