What a waste of time!!

Another telephone call today which was basically a waste of time. Said everything that they said on last call. Apparently blood in stalls and constipation or loos bowel isn’t sign of endo? And maybe now there’s something wrong with my Howell that’s causing me pelvis pain too? Honestly ...

also a basic surgeon should of picked up endo when they’re not even a gynae surgeon.

Each time I have telephone call it’s a different gynae and each one always says I want to start from scratch meaning I’m pushed back again!!!

When was discharged from hospital I was told I would have a mri booked within 2 weeks as urgent yet nothing on their system?

I have lost all hope with the mecdics right now

Hi Adeno,

That sounds frustrating.

It might be worth calling the hospital once a week to ask them if they've made the MRI referral yet.

The reason for the suggestion is that when I had a laparoscopy done, I was told at the hospital that they would make a referral for me to have a follow up ultrasound. It took about one month for them to do the paperwork to make a referral, and only then did I join the waiting list. I know they're busy, but I found it odd that the document sat in an inbox for a month before being moved on.
