I was referred for hip impingement mid February to see a consultant. X-rays were done previous to this but because of a mix up they weren't available for the consultant appointment which was mid April. I was told he would get hold of them and be in touch within two weeks.
I called his secretary after three weeks to be told the X-rays are on his desk and he will be in touch. It is now six weeks since this appointment and still nothing. I phoned again this week and was told the same, they were waiting to be looked at.
Do I just keep ringing the secretary to get anywhere. The 18 week rule deadline from referral to treatment, most probable operation, is in just over four weeks. What happens if this date is missed?
I'm just feeling quite frustrated and fobbed off.
