I've just waited a month to get the results of a NHS scan, and when I complained to me GP surgery, they chased it up with the hospital. The hospital stated that they forgot I had the scan - even though they sent me for it themselves, so no one has even looked at the results.
I had to make a Data Access request to even see the results, which showed a tumour that has now grown 25% in the last four months.
Are these mistakes, lack of oversight, or pure negligence?
(Not that any of these people care, but all the above is stopping me going back to work - and that's before I am even told of I need my head cut open!)
I'm so sorry that this has happened to you.
I am lucky that my health hasn't been put at risk by my GP, I can't imagine the stress this has put you under.
Have you got access to private healthcare? If so I suggest going down that route as soon as possible.
This thread has certainly opened a can of worms!
The NHS as it stands is simply not fit for purpose, and instead of addressing the shortcomings and fixing problems everyone seems to be burying their head in the sand and bleating about it being the best healthcare system in the world.
I hope you recover from this and have the support you need.
