I attended at the hospital in December - was referred for low white blood counts
Rolling on, I didn't hear anything although numerous blood tests were taken. I assumed all was well
Until attending GP for completely unrelated matter two days ago where upon he asked me if i'd heard from the hospital to which I said no. Apparently the GP had, in early January and the hospital had recommended I undertake course of iron tablets. The GP thought I'd got the message as in the letter he had got it said cc to patient. Althought the practice took no steps to ensure I'd got the message! When I spoke to the hospital they confirmed no letter had been sent to me. The GP had left a prescription for iron tablets for collection but I hadn't collected it as I didn't know about it! It was a good job it was nothing too serious.
I have asked the hospital to now send me a copy of the letter not arrived yet and I don't realistically think it will come
Lesson learned in future I will ring after every appointment at the hospital to see if there is anything I need to know. If I hadn't attended at the GP when I did I would never have found out about this.
