So, OH asked GP for a referral to see one of two rheumies at QE Gateshead who have an interest in PMR & GCA. (He tried to ask for a named doc but apparently GP couldnt do that.) Ho hum, but how lucky to be so close to a GCA specialist, I thought. And surely they'd look at the referral and see it was for PMR & suspected GCA and allocate the right doctor. Wrong! Letter from QE just arrived, with an appointment with a different doctor.
Question is, Can we ring and request to see one of the two specialists? Its already been two weeks since the diagnosis and starting on pred.
