Mr Toft, Endo in Spire health Edinburgh, has anyone ever been to see him ? I am trying to find someone to see in Scotland.
Hi Dr connacher good in Perth Royal infirmary
Hi, I live in Grampian and like you I got nowhere with the NHS. After a recommendation I went to see Professor Chew at the London Clinic. He was very good and sympathetic to my cause. I am still waiting on my final results as he did a barrage of tests, but I can highly recommend him if you're prepared to travel to London
Goodness, that's a hell of a price to pay out because of useless quacks. My local hospital is the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, but could never get a consult there as our stupid GPs are TSH only types! I self medicate and buy my T3 from Mexico, but it would be wonderful to be able to talk to a responsible medic about the problem. Thank you for recommending Prof Chew (I used to work at the London Clinic in the labs & know the quality of their work) and next time I visit my sister in Essex I'll try and get an appt. What were the charges for the tests? I approached the Albyn in Aberdeen and their prices were a bit steep AND still they wanted a GP request. I'd asked for one from my quack and he refused - nice!
What IS it with these docs that they don't want their patients to be healthy?
Hi Blue 2 & SC 23, I still had to get a GP referral to get an appointment with Prof Chew. I'm lucky , in that I have private health but going by my bills it would have cost approx £1,000. That's not to say you'd be that, as I have a family history of auto immune disease, so think Prof Chew was giving me a full MOT. I was told GP's don't take patients like us seriously as it takes too much time & cost to treat us & the NHS has neither!!
