Having changed GP as February 2014 diagnosis of pain and swelling as osteoarthritis seemed incorrect but was correctly diagnosed as having hernia s ie more than one by new GP I should know they come out when I cough and no I don't smoke GP referred me to Salford royal saying you will have appointment in 10 days I chase this but it's now 6 weeks and I have rung scan dept multiple times who have said no appointment given yet can't tell you when you'll have a scan! My physio says don't need scan just need an operation 'you have a blinder of a hernia on one side and a smaller one the other' so seems a deliberate stalling to have scan as it will be 18 weeks min after seeing specialist after the scan before have op maybe over 26 weeks so a year in pain where as go private and have it done in a week it's just outrageous Go to a&e and they refer me to general surgery but my life is on hold until then Nhs has let me down Salford Royal in particular
"Referral by GP for scan end June 2014"
