Doctor referal concern.

Story from nhs.uk

"Doctor referal concern."

About: New Cross Hospital / Respiratory medicine

I was sent by my G.P for scans , blood tests etc. Was told problem with Liver, creating Heart problems and told "Heart Failure ". Also blood pressure up. Must have Appointment with Cardiology and this will be "Fast Tracked".

Now appointment that i have been informed of is 25/6/18. So communication between G.P',s and Hospital Scary. So i now will spend my next 7 weeks worried about what could happen to me if anything.- Who is supposed to decide if i should get more Blood Pressure tests or even Liver Function tests as G.P,s might be thinking , "ah Well wait now till Hospital send us information". Never mind perhaps if i pretend to have Heart Attack i might get seen quicker.==
