  • Week 316 – March 24th – Glad I chased

    I decided to chase about when I would be having my SVT scan and left a voicemail. 

    Later in the day I had a call back and was told there was a 6 to 9 months waiting list, I said the consultant has booked me in already for June. 

    I was put through to the scan team and told them the situation; they have booked me in before my consultant appointment. 

    Don’t understand why I had to chase, because this should have been organised after I saw the consultant in February.
