Grounded! - for a Specialist Appointment
A blood test reveals an underactive Thyroid, a need for more blood tests and to see a specialist before treatment.
When I pointed out that it was a bit drastic to medically downgrade someone, just to ensure he was present for his specialist appointment the Doc changed his tune.
Until I see the specialist, my thyroid problem is 'undiagnosed' and therefore....blah blah blah....duty of care (covering your arse more like)
Restricted to UK flights only (maybe we could declare war on Wales)
Minimum 2 month wait for appointment!
Now, its not my business if the medical branch have recruiting problems (or have suffered cut backs) but you can't downgrade someone and then put them on an NHS waiting list.
What's a poor boy to do?
Go private?
Meantime, plenty of time for gardening, ppruning and the Rugby World Cup. I might get used to it.
