Gastroenterology department appointment

Posted By Frustrated Granddaughter

"Gastroenterology department appointment"

About: Rotherham Hospital / Gastroenterology

(as the patient),

I am emailing you today purely out of frustration. I have been waiting for an appointment from the gastroenterology department for 5 months now!

I have rung several times and been told I will get an appointment in the next 2 weeks, I have never received one (this has happened a few times now) I have also been told that I was never put on the list.

I have been suffering from my problem for 1 1/2 years now and have just been messed around from the start. I am in constant pain which is affecting my daily life, work and most importantly my children. All I want is my appointment which I keep getting promised.

Thank you.
