I was diagnosed with a dr in 2020 in the city hospital had my mri just before March lock down last yr then had to ring his secretary as I heard nothing bk about my results in July only for the letter to say stage 4 severe endo and that surgery is needed but obviously wasn’t expecting it to happen last yr cos of COVID as he said as soon as it was stood down I’d be brought in .. so in jan I got a call to to see if I’d my operation done ?I said no .. so I thought happy days I must be at the top of the list now .. so it’s only a matter of time now .. so in April I took really bad with my pains and ended up being set to a&e by my gp .. so had ct scan and all that done only to be told yes it’s ur endo so the we doc in a&e in my local hospital in newry tried to contact a dr .. but with no luck apparently so he emailed him . So they gave me a morphine injection and sent me home because theirs not much apparently they could do cos I need surgery (that was on my notes ) so 4 days later bk up at a&e same thing only to be told by a&e doctor why u here we can’t do anything for you !! Was sent home again .. so rang my gp the next day crying she said the same and to ring my specialist .. rang his secretary only to be told he no longer works for the trust 🤬🤬🤬 but I’m under a new dr, to say I was mad was an understatement (cos I’d not been told ) not that I’d even met the previous dr.. so after cry down the phone to the secretary she said she would get me a phone appointment.. well I got that call yesterday from the new drs second in command I think and wat a waste of bloody time that was .. apparently this new dr has no surgery lists done . Ohh said I’d maybe be better of with pain management! Ohh and my age would be a factor (im49) 🤬🤬 not that this was my first lap .. I couldn’t get over her she just didn’t care at all .. said she’d refer me to a pain clinic in Belfast … Belfast I said I’m not from Belfast .. ohhh she said .. I’ll refer you bk to your gp .. I just don’t know wat to do x my gp said today that he doesn’t understand why the city hospital arnt doing surgery as COVID has being stood down even our own hospital are doing gyne surgeries according to him ..ohh this new drs sidekick did say that if they were doing surgery they would have had me down .. so I’m totally confused .. but have Told my gp I want a different doctor but he said to wait 2wks till her report comes in to him..

Hey! We're not allowed to name doctors or hospitals sadly, but there is a BSGE register you can search for accredited and registered endometriosis specialists in your area, you just use your postcode and find your nearest centre. Xxx
