Original feedback for

West Suffolk Hospital


Finally been referred

It has taken me 8 years of speaking to my GP about the symptoms I was experiencing only for them to dismiss them and say that a referral to gynaecology wasn't needed. I've finally been referred and was listened to when I ended up in A&E in so much pain. I wasn't really helped when I went to A&E, they did bloods but I wasn't given pain relief and told to visit my surgery on Monday which I did and then I finally got the referral. It has taken a long time for this appointment to come through but was actually quicker than I was advised by the GP who did the referral.
