I walked to the hospital today 9.07.2018 and it took me almost an hour. On arriving at the hospital I asked where the pain management clinic was and I tried to find it, the staff did a great deal to help me find it I am grateful to a lady who took me to the lift as it was on the third floor green level three near dermatology. I went into dermatology by mistake and the woman in there looked at me as if I was an alien and was rude. I was the only patient waiting I was early and I waited. The consultants assistant came out and was extremely nice talking to me as a normal person. However the consultant was unhelpful talking to me as if I was five years old said nothing could be done and I in fact was directed here for no reason. I need a diagnosis for my pain and this hospital cannot help me, whether in fact I will get referred to st Thomas hospital in London is another matter as I am still waiting for a ct scan, an ultrasound and I have been given strong tablets by neurosciences that are dangerous to new born babies. Thankfully I am fifty and childbirth is not an option. So back to managing the pain by myself until a years wait probably palmed off somewhere else as usual.
