Hi, I see Doc Hirchfield quite often, he is a nice doctor. The area you have been moved to is more convieniant for the test labs. ..

Hi, I had to go there the second time I saw him.

Don't worry, just get there a bit earlier - if you are parking it can take time to find a space, etc. Ask as soon as you get into the main Entrance Area, and they will give you clear instructions, even a map. I was worried but everyone was really helpful, even when I got a bit lost.

Also, I got panicky as the tests were running late and I was worried about being late for my appt with him, but they all calmed me and said everything would all wait until my tests were sent through to him, and everyone else was in the same situation.

Just allow plenty of time, keep asking if you get lost or are worried - and stay calm - it will all be fine.

Gritty xx

Hi , I've been going to QEHB for the last ten years. I had a transplant 7 yrs ago and have recurrent PBC . My appts are always on a Thurs morning . I've always been able to have Ultra sound scan before my appt so that they can see results straight away. I think the clinic I go to is post translant but not sure.
