He was referred by his GP for tests on his heart last summer. He was to go back for the results but they never contacted him despite repeated attempts.
He then went back to his GP who referred him again. He was seen by a Dr who carried out an extensive barrage of tests and again he was to go back for the results. Guess what? They did not contact him again.
He has called their Cardiology Dept at least 3 times and they always say they will call back to sort this out but never do. All in all this has been about 7 months which is just abysmal. After seemingly losing the first set of results, you would have thought they might have taken better care the second time.
On the front page of the Daily Mail today, I saw a story about a young girl 21 yrs dropping down dead with cardiomyopathy. I am worried that my son will become another story like this. The treatment my son has received has been absolutely diabolical and he is considering making a formal complaint to the NHS and his local MP.
It seems this place is playing with people's lives which is disgraceful.
