3 weeks ago my husband underwent an emergency sigmoid colectomy. As a result of a CT scan 12 months ago following an accident they found a thickening on colon which needed investigation. A colonoscopy abandoned as they couldn’t get through blockage on first bend. Then CT scan struggled to inflate for the procedure. Couple of weeks later called to see consultant for results to be greeted by see you in 4 days time for surgery. Asked for results of CT and told looks like diviculitus but as it’s growing from both sides need to see what’s underneath. Surgery was open not keyhole as he needed to look at bowel. Hubby recovered really well and discharged 5 days after surgery but no pathology results.
Now today told by consultant secretary results sent to Gp but consultant on holiday for 2 weeks, Rang GP who said he can’t give results only consultant can. He did say he couldn’t see anything untoward in results but when asked if that was good news was silent.
i going to suggest hubby requests coy of us results tomorrow from both hospital and GP. Am I right that he has a right to see them?
