I have been in the Hammersmith hospital 3 times in about 2 years, the appointments are given to you every 6-8 months, I have a problem in my right hand with inflammation, purulence and bleeding. Whenever I go they take me out like 10 tubes of blood and NO ONE has a diagnosis for me.
Today I call saying that my hand hurts a lot, my fingers are inflamed, I find it hard to use the computer, but with the anger and helplessness that I feel in this situation I decide to write this message, hoping that someone trained will open my file and arrive at a conclusion that unfortunately I still waiting for.
Today I called the Consultant's secretary I told her that the doctor told me in my last appointment that another doctor could analyze my fingers, I said to the secretary that maybe this other person was the right person to see me, and the secretary's response was that she does not know anything about fingers, just about making appointments...
When I been there nobody have done a proper analysis of my hand, and no more test than the blood (1 X-ray years ago), if I lose my hand or fingers I'll do whatever it takes so that everyone knows my case and how this hospital and its staff of doctors seem not to be trained for special cases
