I’ve had dealings with this hospital many times and feel it’s the best hospital I’ve been in with exceptional staff and treatment.
Today I had an appointment in neurology which I was both deflated and upset by the result. I had a long wait which they apologised for, then I saw the consultants registra who was a kind person but I left upset and confused at his conclusion. Within less than 15 minutes and a very quick examination, using an mri scan from last year I was told my symptoms were not neurological and leaving me lost as to what was causing the problems.
He went through my information quickly and I felt uneasy that he had misunderstood some things I said.
So I still don’t know why I am falling over, getting numb patches, whitnessed by my g.p. having twitching clear to see in my neck and face, stumbling because of fatigue.
He was kind and tried to help me as I was so upset but I’m still gutted that no tests were needed. I wish I’d seen the consultant seeing as it was my first appointment and I’d waited around six months to get there with one appointment cancelled during the wait.
The outcome may be correct but I just feel it was done so quickly I didn’t have time to process things.
The nurse was extremely kind and tried to help me and even got the doctor to try to explain things but I’m still confused
