Re: Hospital Appointments
There is definitely something going wrong within NHS appointment communications deylon. My last ms appointment I was told off for not attending the previous one and told I'd be struck off the list if I missed another. I was mortified then realised and after a kerfuffle managed to prove it I had attended the appointment but the doctor had been called away and the clinic ended before he got round to seeing about four of us.Now I've received a letter saying because I haven't attended last two clinics I have to go to my GP to be referred again !

Re: Hospital Appointments
Because I had infections and was taken into hospital, I missed my chemo appointments and got a stern letter about this. I also got duplicate appointments to see the Consultant, duplicate MRI appointments etc. - they don't seem to keep in touch with each other, the various departments.I had to spend much of my chemo day on Wednesday sorting this all out with them. Thankfully, they are all in order now: 1 appointment to see the Consultant, 1 CT Scan, 1 MRI and new chemo appointments stretching in to July.
I now have the appointments on paper and on my phone and computer's calendar with reminders set for all of them.

Jump up and down scream and shout!
Failing that, try this, never fails...you take a deep breath and say in a very quiet voice,
"Now listen to me. I'll say this only once..."
