Hi still trying to get my head around this HEALTH??SERVICE?? been told mum is on a waiting list could be a year before shes seen by geriatrician?
Was told that her doctor can re refer her as urgent but that would still be a couple of months??
I dont have a couple of months let alone a year I need to know asap what im dealing with here its a disgrace that old people are treated like this??
Was told in a cold uncaring way well thats the way things are now????? what a HORRIBLE way to speak to someone who is in distress no compassion NOTHING?
Have now made an apt to go private and he can see her next week????(and money dosnt talk??)
Am drained and very down so will just have to go this route we will have to think of the money later?? My big problem now is that i havnt told mum its Private and just said hes a specialist for old people and will give you a good overall exam! GULP!
She was ok today in ok mood and will go! So I will have to pay on the QT then tell her later in the week that it was private as i will pay for this out of my unemployment money??
Any ideas dont know how to handle this but need this done she will go mad when she thinks she has to pay but its for her own good and then theres the tests? I wish I could wake up and this was all a nightmare?
