In March this year my husband had a telephone consultation with an interventional radiology consultant about having an embolization procedure to treat a painful varicocele in his testicle.
A month ago he attended Nottingham City Hospital to have this done. The consultant carried out the procedure but unfortunately could not complete it. He said that he would be in touch with Mr Miller, the Urology Consultant, to discuss what should happen next. Since then we have heard nothing, the phone extension for Mr Miller's secretary is dead, and we have sent a letter but not had a reply.
We appreciate that the NHS is under pressure, and waiting lists are very long, but my husband doesn't even know what he is waiting for - surgery, another procedure, or nothing? We have no ways left to find out.
