I called up my dr yesterday to ask if they got the results from the blood test and the receptionist said the hospital rejected the request as they had already check my blood at the start of the month and the receptionist didn't know what else to say so I requested a update from the dr as I felt stranded and in the dark and they just called me to say the dr has referred me to the neurology department at to get re-assessed now Im wondering how long that is going to take

Blood tests seem to often get confused, by GP surgery’s partially if a 3rd party is involved such as a hospital.

In terms of being re assessed and how long, assuming this is a cognitive assessment? A few months maybe? Would depend on the workload of the department.

could try ringing the department and asking for a ball park guess as to the likely wait? as long as your polite and clear, never had a problem thus far doing that myself.

Is scary. When I have coils in my brain in other town. They told me have got 2 coils and another lump. My left side is weak and no speek. After go back to my town hospital for speech lessons. There hardly no speak lessons (about 2 lessons) and 3 assessment. The discharge from my hospital it's say I've have 1 coil my weak side is correct and I'll have speech lessons. What they do is ticking a box. They have no time, after care is not there.

I am concerned that I wont get believed because I can still work ect and they will look at me and go all the symptoms are minor so your fine or they will go come back to us when you have lost your job and are on house benefit then we will take you seriously
