On 23 3 23 i got an appt with oncology which is a 60 mile round trip.
I wanted to know what was causing pain in my rear end when sitting down.
Went to the triage dept only to have my blood pressue taken and a sample checked.
The nurse said I had another urine infection and was sent home with antibiotics.

STV current affairs same night did a half hour programme on PC..Scotland has a terrible record on illness.
Fred MacAuley the comedian spoke about it and there was someone from Prostaate charity.
They were saying importance of a PSA test...how many drs do them when you are concerned? It is a nurse tht does a blood test in my surgery so not taking up a GPs time.
2 friends of mine went to get PSA checked after my diagnosis and drs said 'why'?
Both pushed for it and am glad they are ok.
