The wait for an investigation ultrasound was rather long, waiting over 3 months from my original GP appointment. On the appointment day, everything went smoothly and I nearly enough walked straight into an appointment room for my scan. The staff were wonderful and I was surprised about how quick it was.
During the scan, the technician hardly talked and didn't explain what was happening.
I was informed I would be contacted in a week for my results. I spent the next 3 weeks in pain and confusion as I had no contact. I called up my GP, where I was informed of an accidental finding and referred for further investigation.
It's rather frustrating that I was left in pain for so long because I thought I had to wait for the department to get back to me. I would have been fine if I was told I need to call my GP after a week.
"Great fast appointment but lack of follow up."
