Hey everyone!
Has anyone had to change consultants? (I’m in the UK) I got diagnosed with Crohn’s recently this year and I was given steroids and azathioprine and sent on my way with no information, no ibd nurse helpline and not even my MRI results sent to me via post confirming my diagnosis (no idea if I should of been to be honest) I’ve been told to get weekly blood tests for 8 weeks since starting azathioprine but was told this 5 weeks already into taking them so just been to get my bloods done and the lady doing them said my consultant hadn’t even put them on the system so I wasted my time driving half an hour to get them done to be told he hasn’t even bothered to add them on to my file so I walked round to the gastro department to be told to call the secretary who then told me she can pass on a message to my consultant but he’s very busy so wasn’t sure when he would add my blood tests to my file. (What the hell so I’ve now been on azathioprine for nearly 7 weeks with no blood tests) I just feel I’m not getting the right care ! Anyone had any trouble switching to another consultant on the NHS ? Thank you any input would be great!
