Shielding Update

[Katmal-UK]

Well I contacted my MP last night, got a reply within 2 hours saying he would contact local council covid helpline, got a phone call just now and Ive been added to the high risk list in case I need help. Big shout out for my MP! Big boo for my GP.

[Coldethyl]

Well done your MP and their office - big thumbs down to your GP practice x

[babsclunn]

Brilliant news glad you are sorted now

Unfortunately like some of the other ladies have said still struggle get slots for delivery xx

[Katmal-UK in reply to babsclunn]

I now have a helpline number for my local support if I need help, Ill leave the slots to those that need them.

Good news! It’s nice to see politics working for constituents.

[Frenchhouse3]

Well done Kathy, so chuffed for you! You’re a true fighter for health and for your rights! Xxxxx

[Katmal-UK in reply to Frenchhouse3]

Im not done yet, next stop is an email to PALS about my GP lol. I swopped Oncologists after complaining about my Consultants lack of empathy, bluntness and not being treated correctly . I will stand up if I see something isnt right lol.

[Frenchhouse3 in reply to Katmal-UK]

Good for you Kathy; you’re absolutely right! Xxxxx

Hi Kathy, Glad you've got this sorted. In standing up for yourself you stand up for us all on this site. Gwen x

[Katmal-UK in reply to thomas62]

Thanks Gwen. I dont think ppl realise that if you dont get what you deserve in hospital or from yr GP you dont have to just accept things. Ive found that out the hard way and now I stand up for myself. xx Kathy xx

[thomas62 in reply to Katmal-UK]

Hi again Kathy, I totally agree with you and I do aim to be proactive for my own health. Keep it up. Gwen Xx

[Lyndy]

Well done Kathy! You’re a shining example of how to get things done for all of us. I thought my GP was completely useless and totally lacking in empathy (she told me I had cancer over the phone!), but yours takes uselessness to a higher level. All the best, petal, and enjoy your deliveries! Deb xx

[Katmal-UK in reply to Boot1947]

Awww Deb, thats awful to be told in that way! I hope yr doing ok. xx Kathy xx

[Boot1947]

Doing fine, thanks Kathy. Had a wonderfully pointless phone consultation for my annual check up, (useless without a CA125 check), but the doctor was lovely. Rearranged for August! We live in interesting times....Keep up your good work. Deb xx

[Cropcrop]

Excellent news, glad you’re covered Kathy. Stay safe ❤️Xx Jane

[Neona]

My mp just referred me to the online form which I had already filled in!

[Maxjor]

I am so glad Kathy and as my hematologist said to me "stop being so nice--this is your life! If not happy with a doctor or treatment, speak up!" You did! It worked! Boo on your GP!! (What is an MP?) oxoxox Judy
