if you look him up you will find he has many flags, whereas his counterpart at Kingston Hospital has only a few.

Give me Dr. Spring anytime. He is a gentleman. He may insist on RAI but I am my own person and will resist with my final ounce! He doesn't hold it against me

Thanks for taking the time to reply

What's RAI ?

Radioactive Iodine to wipe out your thyroid! He also practises from Harley Street!

I am hypo hashi's though , isn't that for hyper?

[stuartwwhouse in reply to pingpong]

So I take it he is a good endo to have then?

Well let's just say you could be paying a lot of money to see him - I hope you're seeing him NHS?

He is a very pleasant chap, probably late 40s, introduces himself, shakes your hand and offers you a seat.

Then he listens. I got to see him after complaining about the other endos at Kingston and he even operates from a different part of the hospital - the posh part (Sir William Rous Wing). Good luck. Go well prepared. Another good thing, if you have any worries, is you can e-mail his secretary at the hospital

[stuartwwhouse]

Yes , it's nhs thank god!

I have spoken to his secretary several times and she is brilliant !

What preparation should I be doing ? I'm new to all this and have just been fobbed off by my GP for nearly 2 years now !

Sorry Stuart,

The link didn't come back to me (I think you got spammed). Hope the appointment went well.
