"Cancelled appointment"

About: Birchwood Medical Practice Lincoln County Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

(as a parent/guardian),

my son has a chronic knee condition and had to go off work in September 19. A job he has now lost due to length of time off.

He has been in constant pain and remains so. He has blood pressure readings regularly of 212/111. Lincoln County have been hopeless. Misdiagnosis without carrying out basic tests.

He has become more unwell, including stress &  depression. He is experiencing other pains and horrendous headaches, visual disturbances, pins and needles in his head with hot flushing feelings. During these attacks his legs feel like they expand and tingle.

Just now, he has received a text cancelling his appointment with the Orthopaedic Consultant for March 2020. Almost 6 months since his problems began.

His own GP & physio have advised him to attend A&E to short cut the system, but he never did believing it would be unfair. See where he is today .....
