"Still waiting!"

About: Hull Royal Infirmary

Anything else?

I saw the doctors team in September 2012 and was referred for brain and neck scan which I had about 3 weeks later. So far so good, I was meant to be seen again in December 2012 but this never happened. I have rung every nonth since to see what is happening and am told that the Dr is running behind. I have now waited 6 months for my follow-up appt and am told that the doctor is at present seeing patients from July 2012! Whilst not wishing to complain the condition I have is affecting my work and social life and I feel as though Im getting nowhere. I am seriously considering asking my GP to refer me to another hospital as its just not good enough.
