As I mentioned in my previous post, I had to have an x-ray on both my shoulders. This happened today. The NHS actually called me in 2 minutes after my appointed time - I think with clocks being inaccurate you could even say they were spot on - and the very nice young lady made do pilates exercises to get the right shots - so many I felt more like I was on a style shoot rather than a medical appointment. After 15 minutes I was back in the waiting room and 5 minutes later, the nice young lady was back out to tell me that the shots were fine, in other words, I didn't move! Then came the line 'The images should be with your GP in a week or so'.
Now, this in itself seem innocuous - a little slow but nothing out of the ordinary - until you remember that these x-ray images are now digital. That means that they are immediately available to view on a computer.
OK, I understand that they will need to be seen by a 'specialist' rather than just my GP but, what can possibly take 7-10 days about this?? Do they not have email????
All I can say is, it was a good job my arm wasn't hanging off!
Hmmmmmm....keep loving.
