I've had a total lack of treatment

"I've had a total lack of treatment"

About: Hull Teaching PCT

(as the patient),

I was referred for physio with shoulder trouble after an operation. I was told I should be seen in three weeks. After five weeks of hearing nothing I rang the physio department and was told I’d need to come in 12/14 weeks. I was then sent a sheet with exercises. What a nightmare! I have been treated with a total lack of courtesy; in fact I’ve had a total lack of treatment. My shoulder is getting worse and I’ve had to seek private treatment. I will be contacting PALS, but feel you should know about this publicly.
