Hi Miri,
I'm glad the appointment went well and I hope she's able to get things moving quickly for you both. We've had a few appointments with our Paediatrician - I was hopefull she'd make the diagnosis for Kaitlin (could have saved SO much time
) but she decided after about 18 months that Kaitlin was a 'complex' case and she wasn't confident of making a diagnosis on her own
Hence all the faffing about with referalls to specialist ADHD and autism services. We've FINALLY gotten our appointment for 27th April YEE HA !
But here's an example of how 'efficently' things run up here
I phoned to chase up the appointment, "oh yes Mrs McKay, I'll pass your concerns onto the team" a week later I get a letter saying they're now able to offer an appointment and if I still want to go ahead can I phone the number. So I phone the number, expecting to make an appointment, "oh right, I'll pass that on to the team" another week later another letter comes through with the appointment - BUT I still have to phone to confirm that this is suitable. So by my counting that's three phonecalls and 2 letters to acomplish what could have been done in 1 phonecall - how's that for best use of NHS resources
(Sorry
Rant over !)
How did the crainial massage go by the way ? Was the week following it any better this time round ?
