About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Cardiology (Wards 19, 24, 43a, 43b & 44a)

(as a service user),

Im doing this on behalf of my partner He is very very concerned and worried. He has no internet and is also dyslexic.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP

He has been waiting since last December (before Covid ) to get a CT Angiography, his feet and ankles are up like balloons and his GP thinks he might need a stent, and referred him, I hae been calling and calling to find out what is happening but nothing. He cant stay awake for more than half an hour, at a time.

He has a load of other issues Severe COPD and Bronchiectasis to name a few.

I understand that due to Covid things have changed.

Good Evening

We are STILL waiting to know what the report for the angiogram says, it was 4 weeks ago now. And his mind is working overtime worrying what it shows. This is the last report he is waiting for, his mental health is suffering.

Some good news though, the other tests results have come back, and nothing serious.

Keep up the Great work that you do
