"I attended the rheumatologist clinic in feb 2012"

About: Kingston Hospital

Anything else?

I attended the clinic in feb 2012 approx and told the registrar that I had not been feeling well and that in jan 2012 i ended up with a chest infection and the medication that she prescribed is not help she replied back by saying everything looks ok and that she increase the dosage of leuifomide since then my condition worsened and I then saw my GP who told me to inform the rheumatologist I then spoke to the secretary of the dept and asked to see a different dr and I then saw a doctor who told me to stop the tablets and carried out various test and when he received the results he contacted me on the 12th July to say that he is not happy with the results and to get myself to A&E which i did and had to be admitted and stayed in for over 2 weeks and was diagnosed with chronic sarcoid.

My question is why was i not offered chest X-rays every year and why did the registrar not listen to me?
