Genetic Heamochromatosis Treatment

"Genetic Heamochromatosis Treatment"

About: University Hospital Of North Durham

The the number of visits that have involved puncture wounds to veins that I feel are unnecessary to myself. An excessive amount of monitoring where results have been not given has meant that more puncture wounds into arms. This has occurred at Durham University Hospital. Why a fixed time for venesection has not been given. In literature it recommends fixing a period when maintenance for treatment is happening. An agreed 3 months time has been set but this is not been followed.
