Consultant v consultant

[Caitlyn6]

Having a number of chronic conditions, today I got a letter from my neurologist who says 'it's most unlikely' I have the condition that a cardiologist says is 'most likely caused by MS or it's treatment'. Ha ha, I have to laugh. Quite amusing this 'play off' if it wasn't with my health. Meanwhile I am none the wiser. 😂

It's easier to see the wizard of oz than see my GP. I don't really have 'continuity of care' in my GP surgery at all. Even though I have enough co-morbitities. I have mentioned it to him and he is none the wiser. I will move surgery at some point. A and E drs blame diabetes. Diabetes says my numbers are perfect. Cardiologist suggests MS. MS suggests diabetes. Cat and Mouse.

I guess it's the way modern medicine has developed. The body is so complex we need specialists who really understand their small patch. But the downside is that it's rare to find consultants who can stand back and look at the bigger picture.
