Wrong organ!

"Wrong organ!"

About: Charing Cross Hospital

Anything else?

The doctor from gatro department booked me to have the wrong organ checked. Last year I started with a diarrhea. After it remained for while I went to my GP where I had my blood tested. It showed celiac disease... Yet to be confirmed with a colonoscopy. Went to Charing Cross hospital and was assessed. Explained about the disease and then went back again to have the procedure. Upon my arrival in the hospital I learnt I was having my large bowel checked... celiac disease happens in the small bowel.... same name but not the same organs. Complaint, was told is either this or nothing... Now after a year felling sick I am going to have the procedure done in the right organ.
