was seen this morning by the locum I saw last time ..( love this man) . He said department down to one nurse but 8 consultants.He is also doing the nurses jobs. He personally emailed the hospital pharmacy even though told him secretary emailed them but he said he wanted to make sure . Gave me 6 months MTX prescription and arranged a 3 month appointment.
This next one blew me away . He said if I have trouble getting prescriptions in future just turn up at clinic or send a member or friend of the family and request it at the desk and will write out a prescription. Also said in having problems trying to get an appointment is too difficult just turn up at clinic and he will see me . He said he says this to all patients. I asked if he would be my rheumatologist but he said they won’t employ him permanently but it doesn’t look like he is going anywhere at the moment and he wants to be there for his patients. He speaks English with a bit of difficulty and think he may have been an immigrant from a war torn country . I am so delighted to have him as my doctor he knows is stuff . Hospital would be a foolish not to offer him a position.
Good result .
