Hi everyone.
I hope you are all doing as well as possible.
Is anyone else is having issues with Colchester hospital? I had an initial appointment earlier this year followed by an MRI in August. I got the results of the MRI in September, which included zero explanation, but everyone on here helped me figure out that it does show I have endometriosis.
Naturally, I'm now really keen to speak to a doctor to understand what my options are and to get my dozens of questions answered. I called them as soon as I got my results and asked if I could move up my appointment, since I wasn't meant to have a follow-up until six months after my initial appointment, and I really didn't want to have to wait so long with this diagnosis hanging over my head. They booked it in happily, but since then the appointment has been cancelled three times! No explanation, just 'sorry for the inconvenience'. They also say they will be in contact after cancelling to rebook, but they never do and I have to chase it myself.
This time, I've been trying to call them at different times on different days and on two different numbers, but no one ever picks up. I've sent an email too, but there's been no reply to that either.
Is anyone else being treated at Colchester and having the same problems? I didn't want to complain as I don't want to sour the relationship with my doctor, but I think I'll just have to go through PALs at this rate 😔
