Plague 102

 Here we are again the snows cleared off so we now have Lincolnshires prime export endless mud , still pottering around but had one of those vaguely surreal conversations with our GP the other day or should i say we had a trail of emails as it would appear they dont even talk to us anymore . Having rung the doctors earlier to ask about the results of other halfs tests ???  We are instructed to go onto Ask GP  all results are there...

But its empty 

Then you havent had any tests 

 They were done over a fortnight ago , both ends and biopsies 

The request was sent in January , you cant have had the tests yet .

Could we speak to the doctor please 

You will have to speak to ask doctor .

Couple of hours later email from doctor we have found your test results , you were given them at the time 

He was knocked out and i wasnt allowed in , so how did they give him the results ?

He will have been told and given paperwork 

The paperwork is a sheet telling him to contact his GP in 10 days for the results 

Well we cant tell him anything other than he is no longer on the cancer pathway , he will have to wait for a clinic appointment .

So what is happening about his other small problem , that you insisted is so important that you asked if hes considered palliative care? 

He has no other problems 

Heart 

Oh the referral from November , well thats up to you to chase up we just send in a request .

Who do we contact , we have no idea who or where he has been referred to 

This is the phone number 

So endeth the contact with Ask GP , i then spent a happy hour on the phone chasing up his referral , he should have a telephone appointment sometime before April ...ho hum
