I pretty much like this clinic at Mile End aa the team are nice.
An xray in November showed a issue in my lung and because of this, I cant yet start on thr preferred RA drug of Methotrexate.
I was referred in January for a CT.
I ve been told my appointment is on 2 July which I cannot do as am away.
I ve asked if it can be done sooner and this is not possible as this is the way the rheumatology clinic works.
I can't believe that I have to wait 7 montbs for a CT scan with all the supposed resources of Barts.. and that the consultant needs to be on site
I see my rheumatologist next, in May..tben probably in Sep. So by time i get to ralk about my ct scan it will almost be a year since the atelactasis was spotted.
That's pointless.
So much for Barts being the second biggest arthritis centre etc etc. This is well outsidw of NICE guidance surely
"CT scan - 7 months wait"
