Urgent appointment

[Maisiemay13]

Well decided to call appointment line to check on my status on waiting list looks like it’s going to be February next year,it’s gone from 18 weeks to 8 months,do I go and see a consultant private or wait! I have had echo and 24hr ECG about two months ago do not sure what to do.

It's a hard call.15,000 for basic ablation on private. Long wait is not helpful mentally or physically . In our area it's 12- 18 months,which plays with your head a little! Have you thought of looking at another hospital that might have lower list?

I will speak to my GP I think re another hospital ,I am coping with it,just really want to know what is what!

Buy a big megaphone and go and shout at your local Member of Parliament. Take some friends with placards.

If I had to wait that long I would seriously consider India. Approx £3k for a top quality hospital but I realise not everyone would even consider going that far.
