Cost cutting is stopping patients from getting this new treatment. I had not heard of virtual waiting lists before!
Hi Derek, I read this recently and must say I was taken aback at "virtual waiting lists" as usual it's all about money. I had no idea that these sort of lists existed. You would think in this centuary that things would be better.
We were supposed to be diagnosed and treated within 18 weeks. As my aortic valve replacement operation stretched out the cardiologist said in 2012 that it had been stopped for the moment. It went out to 54 weeks.
Last year I was quouted 46 weeks o see a neuro surgeon and had to again see one privately.
That's terrible having to wait all that time and then go private. I sincerely hope things are much better for you now.
Well I paid to have my LAA done in April but my other problem seems to defy diagnosis.... we can see that you have a problembut there is nothing on the CT, MRI or X-Ray for my knive.
