"No Neurologist at Wm Harvey Hospital"

About: William Harvey Hospital (Ashford) / Neurology

The consultant I was seeing has now semi retired. The consultant said although they will not dealing with Dystonia they would add me to their Alzhiemers list even though I do not have Alzhiemer Disease.

I am meant to see a Neurolist every 4 months , yet my last appointment was on 15/02/17 and here we are 02/09/17 and still no appointment. or a hint as to when I will be seen.

I have rang the hospital asking that I see an alternative Consultant who holds clinics at Wm Harvey, only to be told Wm Harvey no longer at this time has a Neurolist Consultant?, now this baffles me greatly, are they really saying there are no Neurolist within ekhuft.nhs.uk?

The Consultant I was seeing at Wm Harvey said I needed to see the specialist by the name for Dystonia, as this specialist Consultant believes Dystonia is linked to Coeliac which I also have, which meant I had to go to Sheffield some 2i5 miles each way to see their Professor this journey took 6.5 hours to get there due to traffic and heavy rain and near. My appointment was at 11am and lasted about 30 mins including a blood test. On the 15/02/17 I was invited again to attend Sheffied Hospital to have a blood test as the results would get to the Professor, I refused on the grounds that it was a long drive and could not see the point of travelling all the way to Sheffield to have lood test so had the blood test at Wm Harvey Hospital same day as my last appointment (15/02/17).
