Bad experience at London C of E?

[cpops]

Has anyone been unhappy with their care there? Have you had conflicting opinions from them? If so how did you deal with it?

I was unhappy with my care there and do not wanna t to go back. Does anyone have a recommendation of a Behcet’s specialist not linked to that clinic?

Thanks

Funny as when I was there I had several people say they were unhappy yet nobody willing to speak out. Nothing will change unless you stick together and speak out about mistreatment and poor standards of care.

Talk to Tony at the Behcet’s society. I had a conversation with him about an experience I had with a nurse there. He was following up on a few people who had had similar conversations.

Thanks Vicki. Is that the guy who goes to the Clinics?

[VickiOliver in reply to cpops]

No someone different. The Behcet’s society is probably the best port of call. All our experiences are very different and if you feel really unhappy it makes sense to get support. I hope you can feel better about it all x

I can’t seem to get even seen there, last week I couldn’t talk and was stuttering as it’s been in my nerves, caused memory issues, damaged my bowel. GSTT day I’m too complicated for them and need to be seen in the specialist centre. My GP is worried and chasing them. They lost two referrals one from January, I’ll have my first appointment in Mid July. 6 months later. It’s had a debi’s tasting impact on my life and Guy’s won’t give me the TNF as they say that the C of E gets a the money for it, meanwhile I’m left on 25-30 mgs of prednisone for months.
