BeforeTheMorning Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 WARNING: Rant coming up!I am so frustrated right now! I had been waiting months to see a particular specialist, but when I got to the day of my appointment, I was really ill and couldn't go (as I wasn't sure it was just POTS and thought I might have a virus) so I called as soon as their lines were open to tell them I couldn't make it, but they didn't answer and so by the time I got hold of them it happened to be 3 minutes after my appointment time, and so the Doc I was going to see has discharged me! And so now I have to go back to my PCP and get him to refer me to a local hospital, then go there and see if I can get them to refer me back to the specialist, I was going to see in the first place! Crazy!Okay, thanks for letting me rant guys, it just seems like everything is harder than it should be at the moment as I'm in a flare with symptoms and the prospect of more travelling, more appointments, and more explaining to doctors who may never have heard of things, is just getting me down.

BeforeTheMorning Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Bigskyfam - Yes I checked with them to try and make a new appointment, but they'd discharged me back to the specialist who referred me, and he can't do a re-referral because they've stopped accepting referrals from him. So complicated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
