Hi All, well another appointment to see the surgeon again and that means asking for the ambulance again ( boy I dont fancy asking them on Monday , but Hazel has ordered me to ) ( I thought I could put it off until the new year , with it being so near xmas )

hi All , I tried to book the ambulance , as I was phoning up I was so scared my stomach was feeling tight . ( now that should not be happening , but sadly i am feeling scared about phoning for what should be so easy to book , it used to be ) going tomorrow to try and book it through my health centre , they told me before we only book the first appointment for you after that I thought it would be so easy , How wrong was I.

if I cant get any joy with the health centre booking might just give it a miss , cant be borthed nearely having to beg for an ambulance

Hi - I'm lucky that my hosp rheumi receptionist books the transport at the same time as the next appointment so I don't have to try and run the gauntlet of trying to book myself. My next hosp appoint is the 24th Dec Ho Ho Ho - hope I get there at the same time as the mince pies and Christmas cake!!
Hope everyone is not suffering too much with the rainy cold weather.

Hi All , I tried to book through my gp was told that ambulance service are cutting down on taking some people , I said well I told them I was having problems and they told me the department that books the appointment.

I asked if I could speak to the doctor , she said no I will send down and ask him if it is ok if we can book it for you I said will you call me back to let me know what he said, She said yes of course. now its 8.18 and still no call they did this before , saying they would book it and let me know , they never did , so tomorrow I will phone to see if they did speak to gp and if they say no it was not done but it will be done today for you , I will ask to be told. And if no one phones I will then cancel appointment, just fed up having to beg , beg beg . I will make an apointment to see gp after xmas , were I will ask for a refferal for a surgeon to see me at my health centre , they make my blood boil each time I think of them :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

Hi Mike,
Make sure you tell them that if they do not get back to you you will feel the need to cancel your appointment...presumably because you find it very difficult to travel to the appointment by your own means.Dont sound angry just say without the ambulance you just cannot manage the journey.TRy not to feel you are at fault for needing this help either.Hope I have understood your concerns.

Best wishes
Elizabeth

you have understood my concerns well, thank you , I am just going to phone them now to see if they did contact the gp for me if they say no but it will be done today for you and we will get back to you fine I will just wait , but if they say sorry we did not get back , the gp says you must phone the place that you are going to for them to book , well I did that and they will not book it for me so now option buit just to cancel it ( they make you feel so awful , I dont need that )

thank you again,
Elizabeth

Hi all , I feel like I have won a big fight , yesterday I tried to book an ambulance but was told no they needed to check with the gp and they would phone back but no one called , so I was all ready to cancel the appointment with the surgeon , but Decided to phone them up to see if any one did contact the gp , will they did and was told that I did need the transport
and they were over the phone you know the ambulance people are tighing up who to gets the transport , it not up to a reciptinist to make a decision but a gp so glad to be going altho the surgeon says he wont do op until older . my gp advised me to wait until I am older.
