So, the taxi was booked ....we arrived at the hospital ....found the physio dept.
No one on the reception desk so we had to go back downstairs to sign in.
We were called in after only a few minutes ....the waiting room was empty.
Firstly the physio guy thought I was there as I had recently broken my arm .....I had to explain it was because my arm and hand was swollen and I was having trouble bending my fingers.....
He took one look and said ..." I can't do anything about that ! "
I explained that I was due to have a doppler scan on Wednesday.
" I will make ytou an appointment to come after that then " ....we arranged a date and time. It was next Monday at 4.30pm
I got a text when I got home to say the appointment was 30th JULY .....it should be June !
I also had been told to use an ice pack, but when I mentioned that he said ..." oh no, we don't do that anymore....infact it can make things worse. We say do not use iced packs ".
He also was talking about the operation whereas previously the consultant was saying hopefully that was not needed.
I am getting very frustrated at hearing different things every time I go to the hospital.
Also it cost £16 in taxi fares.

I just felt messed about.
I am trying hard to do what I am told but it seems to be changing all the time. This has been going on since April.

I'm sorry... That doesn't sound like the physio guy knew what he was talking about... I think I'd talk to my regular doctor and see if he/she could sort things out for me.
I hope you can get some answers soon. Good luck!

What a shambles
You need clarity and fact
Seems like you are getting fake news and then some more.
So are you any wiser at all on where you stand
