Hi, I’m seeing Dr F at Ipswich, he is ok as a human being but just runs the normal NHS protocol, have spoke to him about t3 but he told me he wasn’t allowed and if he was it would give me a heart problem. Haven’t spoke to him about hashimoto yet but not sure he will even have heard of it.lol
You might as well wait - not much point in attending a fast appointment with someone who spouts that claptrap about T3, and isn’t going to help you - it’s just a waste of time. Just say you will wait and you are happy to take a cancellation if it occurs. There is always self medication to consider.
I tried the cancellation route for the chap I wanted to see, but they were incredibly unhelpful, planning to ring and speak with the secretary next week and see if i can make any progress that way!
Yes just keep at them like water on a stone - until they give in and put you on his list. They ought to be investigating why the other one is so unpopular and addressing that.
Managed to speak to secretaries and now have appt with chap i had been reccomended to see a month later on 7 th august! They we quick to say chap i ws due to see is very good too...again! Success anyway even if a long wait
Well done for sticking g to your guns. Even though it is quite a wait you ought to get the treatment you need which should see you out! So looking at it like that it is worth hanging on. I hope the consultation goes well and if you are lucky you see him sooner due to a cancellation. Let us know how you get on. 💐👍🏽☘️🍀☘️👍🏽💐
Ok yes I’ve seen his pic on the wall. I also saw a guy at Nuffield who also works at Ipswich, he wasn’t any help either. So looks like I’ve picked the wrong one twice lol. I would be interested to hear how you get on when you get there.
