"My cardiology appointment on 31st January"

About: Chase Farm Hospital

My GP referred me to the hospital for an specialist examination because i have a mur mur in my heart. When i went to the cardiology section for my appointment , the doctor did not conduct any examination or test to find out if there was any changes in my situation. When i asked him if he was not going to examine me , he said he had everything on the computer. He was satisfied with my more than one year old records on the computer. Later he made a summary of my old records and sent. I believe that i did not benefit from this appointment in any way and it was waste of time. It was possible for the doctor to write the same report from my old records , without giving me an appointment . The report does not reflect my present situation anyway and has no value.
