Well..... I'm impressed. I'm under a consultant rheumatologist whom I see every 8 weeks for monitoring of an auto-immune disease. As part of that, she refers me for an annual echocardiogram and also lung function tests. Anyway, saw her last Thurs and mentioned I have ongoing problems with one of my feet, had an ultrasound a couple of years ago and it was a ganglion, which was now resolved, but have had assorted joint and neuralgic pains since and seems to be getting worse. So she said OK I will refer you for an MRI.
Saturday morning got contacted by 'Alliance Medical' to book appt for MRI - which I am having on 23rd March. Also got contacted on Monday by 'Inhealth' who have organised my echo - was offered 20th March which I could not do, but booked for 11 April. Both are at local cottage hospitals which is vastly preferable to having to trek into Leicester city. Even better, the results will be back before my next 8 week appointment, which is great and a dramatic improvement on previous years. Yet to hear on the lung function tests, which will no doubt be at Glenfield in Leicester as previous years.
