You might have had a routine scan where something was found by accident, or you have been suffering from medical problems for a while, or perhaps something just came out of the blue. Whatever your circumstances are, you are most likely worried now. You sought help from your trusted GP and might have already seen that lovely doctor in the NHS. Then everything stopped; you were told you needed some investigations, but nobody called you yet.
The first thing I want to say about myself is that I also work for the NHS in one of the largest hospital groups in the country, and I follow all the latest NHS guidelines for treating my patients. So, it is not about getting a different or perceived better doctor. Secondly, the waiting list issue is real. Quite often, you do have to wait a long time before being seen by the NHS; a consultant might not see you, and it is usually never the same person. Unfortunately, the volume of patients is such that it is almost impossible to give that personalised and unique service we would all want.
Lastly, having a scan on the NHS takes quite a bit of time; privately, it can be done immediately after your consultation.
