My DD (nearly 2) has a range of health problems and has always been seen quickly by the NHS. But I'm getting very on edge about her recent "problem". Hopefully someone has some advice about what to do, or can calm me down and say I am being unreasonable.
She's been having a recent serious issue, I'm reluctant to say exactly what but it's as serious as having a heart problems and is potentially life threatening. So I'll use that to explain it.
DD was seen by a pediatrician who agreed she likely had this problem, she was referred for an ECG, in her review letter it says "I will see Name in my heart clinic in march"
She had the ECG done, the doctor conducting it said from what she saw, she would expect someone to contact us within two weeks, regardless of whether that was in the heart clinic or before.
Last week was three weeks past the ECG, we had heard nothing and also don't have an appointment for the heart clinic yet. I called pediatrics, they have an answerphone only system (I know this from past appointments) so I left them a message. But we're still waiting.
I'm torn between, this is my daughter who's life could be at risk, Surely they should have called back and explained when we'll be seen?!
And, they said march, it's still march, maybe the letter is in the post now.
Dp and other family members however, are furious that she is "being ignored".
Has anyone got some experience and knows if -
- YABU - it's not even the end of march yet
- YANBU - you should have at least had an appointment letter by now.
