"Attended Stroke Unit on 15th of May and Never..."

About: Scunthorpe General Hospital

I attended the Stroke Unit after my GP referred me for several episodes of slurred speach and one where I didn't recognise where I was. The Dr asked me some questions and said it was migraines, he upped the dosage of some meds I was already on and said he had to do a couple of tests to rule TIAs out and would ring with the results. That was on 15th of May, I had the brain scan on 2nd of June, the ultrasound on June 26th and have heard absolutely nothing back.

I'm not medical but if it is migraines and not a stroke that effected me enough to get lost you would think it needs to be followed up. Obviously not in Scuthorpe
