Mishmash Report post Posted September 24, 2011 Is unbelievably angry! How is it possible to get referred by your lovely helpful doctor in one town to go and see a specialist about your child(in another town), then tor that specialist to send the forms/info etc to the WRONG ###### doctor in a completely different town and surgery that you haven't used in 2 poxy years? ARGH!!! It's taken so long to get referral and then they ###### it up anyway!! Ooooooh! ...and the form they've sent to school/me etc is the ###### conners ADHD one - purely on family history not on his actual problems! Argh! Ah well at least with that one it'll show - very few of the questions are applicable to him! sorry for the rant - just so very frustrated! Thanks for letting me rant! Now must remember the ...breathe!! Mishmash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaffledOwl1970 Report post Posted November 19, 2011 Hi - I see a local psychiatrist about my schizophrenia, and when I said I'd been diagnosed AS by the psychologist in the next town after a GP referral she said she'd heard nothing about it. I took a copy of my diagnostic report in myself. This was about 18 months ago. I saw the psychiatrist last week who said there'd "been talk about an Asperger's diagnosis". After a mental facepalm I said this had already happened about 2 years ago... I'm thinking of applying for a job there, as I seem to have to do half of their paperwork for them...

BaffledOwl1970 Report post Posted November 19, 2011 Oh, and when I was given my updated prescription at the GP's I waited three days before taking it to the pharmacist. When I did, I found not only did I have my prescription, I had one belonging to a totally unrelated woman in a nearby village - from which I was able to find her full name, address, age, date of birth, NHS number, as well as what she was taking (and I could tell instantly what was wrong with her). So much for data protection... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
