Apauling, better off losing my finger
I have been experiencing pain in ring finger. When I went to my GP I wasn't listened to. GP typed my symptoms into the computer and literally read everything off this computer, the majority did not apply (wear a wrist splint). The GP then asked if I had any medical conditions (which if GP had read my records then would have seen) GP blamed thyroid + diabetes for the pain and said I would have to have tests to check my levels. I go to the diabetic clinic for tests, so the GP should have up to date records. Anyway these tests were done and after they came back clear, the GP asked what I wanted done! So after I said I want my hand checked by the hospital I finally got referred, My pain has got worse and I still have not heard from the GP. I know the hospital sent the results back to the GP but nothing has been done by the GP. I had the test at the hospital in September. I called my GP to book an appointment for this, but there is a 2 week waiting list. I am in a crazy amount of pain and no one is doing anything. The DR's surgery is merged with another surgery however. I am waiting even longer for an appointment. I am half tempted to cut my finger off in order for someone to treat me. I won't do this but a shame nothing has yet been done.
