"useless"

About: Derriford Hospital

Woke up bank holiday, couldn't move my face. A +E said it was bells palsy and sent me to ENT wednesday. All he wanted to go on about was my eye and put a patch on me. Dont need a patch or eyedrops because i am getting the opposite of dry eye. Still dont know why the back of my head hurts, he seemed to think it is was viral (another word for not sure). Contacted GP to discuss more steroids, because A+E said i'll need to be weened off, they didn't even know about me. When GP's secretary eventually found something about me, all it said was eyedrops. That tells me ENT dont read stuff from A+E and then make up their own diagnosis. So now i still dont know going on and tomorrow i'm going to run of tablets and dont know what's going to happen.
