Gp referral dilemma!! Please Help?!

Please someone tell me I've a right to be angry!

The gp has had a report from my ultrasound on 18th May, the report requires an urgent referral to gynae.

Yet the gp viewed on 19th and still today hasn't actioned it.... All I get from the receptionists is that a doctor needs to review and send, so why hasn't this been done? Why view and not action??

I'm going out of my mind with worry because the gp.surgery is delaying my care because gyane are waiting on the referral, what can I do???

I've rang everyday for past 3 days and I'm met with the same response that a doctor needs to do it and they can put an alert on but can't interrupt the GPS... so fed up.

  • I totally feel for you, I received my US pelvis results at reception of my GPS but can't speak to my GP until next week to discuss it, it says urgent action required by referal in the conclusion  of the letter with 2 worrying sentences , I'm so upset and worried as I have results that don't sound good but noone to explain and no referal being made until I've spoken to my gp 4 days after results are back from the hospital , what can we do? 

  • It's disgusting isn't it, mine also says urgent and has been sat with the gp surgery for a week... 

    I've been on the phone to them for 3 days solid and I keep being fobbed off, honestly have never been made to feel so insignificant ever. 

    I just can't fathom why they can take the time to take my call but can't action a referral....

    I've had 2 ops already this year and 1 breast cancer scare, I don't have the mental strength to be left in limbo like this. 

    I need the ball rolling so I can see what I'm dealing with.

    I can absolutely sympathise, and I do hope you get the referral sorted quickly and they can get in touch sooner... keeping my fingers crossed for you. Xx
