Always a fight

No Jack, i live in Romford, essex, but thank you for asking. I spoke to the nurse again this pm who attends Dr Jayne clinic and she Phoned my gp and ask them to fax the refferal, still she received nothing and after several phones calls had to call it a day. I got a copy of the refferal this am and the nurse has ask me to send a copy of the letter in.

Today i recieved a letter from my rheumatologist he has heard that i wanted a second opinion and he has now has reffered me to Addenbrooks, also stating in the refferal that he looks forward to hearing what the experts at addenbrooks has to say

Just rang hospital to see how long my URGENT referral to the dental unit would take before i got an appointment
answer within the next twelve weeks and arrange treat after that !!!!!!!
i explianed that i had lost another tooth last week she said that would be the earliest
will see if wg consult can help on thursday

Oh Dee, I hope they can get you in sooner! Hope your visit with the WG doctor goes well.

[Sangye]

Yikes. I hope your Wegs doc can pull some strings for you. Does your tooth hurt? Did the roots come out? I'm still cringing...

According to my Rheumy a urgent appointment is 12 weeks. I'd hate to know how long a routine one would take!! Good luck Dee
