"Occupational health"

About: Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford)

Really wouldn't bother, after going for numerous appointments I still can't use my hand.

I mentioned to the therapist I was having problems with the other hand and arm and he put it down to over compensation.

I now have been referred to another rheumatologist as bloods have came back suggesting something else, but they couldn't be bothered to do any tests, hence he couldn't even get that diagnosis right and this was meant to be a senior therapist.

His parting words to me after discharging me, which is all he seemed to want to do was 'if you have any problems ring', guess what I've rung twice, has he bothered to return any calls, NO.

A word of advice to the therapists don't bother saying something if you've got no intention of replying.

Go anywhere other than this department, shocking.
