Following an admission to high dependency unit in Stornoway while on holiday with Atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and evidence of ventricular hypertrophy I was referred to my GP at home and then referred to see a Cardiologist in Crosshouse hospital.
I have now been waiting four months for an appointment. On phoning appointments I am told that I am on the list but no idea of when I will be seen.
At the present time I have been waiting for surgery to deal with gall bladder problems... This has been put on hold till the Cardiologist gives the all clear for this to happen.
So in conclusion, I can't understand why this process of cardiology appointments is taking so long. It impacts on other services and results in time wasting appointments with surgeons who can't do anything except give me another appointment in the hope that I will have seen a Cardiologist by the next appointment.
