Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hi Theresa Great to meet another Aussie on-chat- that makes 4 of us ... (and apologise I misspelt your name before) I did suspect...! I saw a different GP just b4 and after the 14 days IV in hospital (couldn’t get into see my usual)...she was stunned my own specialist didn’t visit once, not even a registrar – her comment was that it was a lot different where she came from (Vic originally then had a practice northern NSW). This is not only Qld, we’re far north....very regional, and the health care here....well, maybe there’s things I can’t legally say in a chat-group post such as this! .... Cheers, Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Joy I have had a few "tune ups' in hospital. The nursing staff have commented a few times they my specialist hardly comes into see me. It doesn't actually bother me as it means everything is going as planned. I have only gone in once as an acute paitent. The other times have been pre planned admissions. Keep well everyone.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Theresa, I guess as new cysts were found, and I had lots questions, that this is only 2nd time IV. I had been assured I’d to be able to have picc-line and go home, not stay so long as in-patient, so it was frustrating getting a donkey of a junior who just didn’t have a clue....and stuck for the full 14 days.. Hence my change of specialist...and for other reasons too. Both were organised admissions, though not planned much in advance (hours), still 8-9 hours in A & E regardless.... Part of my antipathy to hospitals is, as I already mentioned, had way too much early in life. Better luck next time ! Cheers all joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
