How soon?

My GP physically examined my stomach today, she said "I wasn't expecting to see what I have seen today and I am marking requirement for scan as urgent, I need blood samples from you asap, make appointment with nurse when you leave this office".

My liver function failed two blood tests between July and October.  GP requested a scan as a recommendation.  It's now end of March, I was at GP today as I wrote an email to the GP and hospital complaining about wait time and my wretching and my decline in health.

Do you think I will get a scan fast now?  Does urgent mean urgent now?

  • Hello Grace001,

    Only just seen your post from last night. Waiting times do vary due to recent demands on health services, but you should always chase this up with your doctor if the wait has been particulary long. I'm sure you'll get an appointment soon. You can read more about urgent referrals in general here, which I hope will be useful to you.
