Does anyone on here know how to go about getting a second opinion?
I've just about had it with St Georges & Sutton Marsden as being given different information, one hospital doesnt know what the other ones doing.
So any advice on second opinions would be appreciated, as my husband was on the trial & is just being left in a hospital bed & I'm being told different things & just about had enough. There isnt enough space on here to explain the utter farce that I'm dealing with....
Tillyboo You will need to ask your husbands consultant to refer him for a 2nd opinion. However with all of the issues that you have I think you are better of emailing pals-patient-advice-and-liaison-service/ click on the link I have created for you, and it will take you to the page where you will be able to contact your local PALS.
Thinking of you x
The consultant at St Georges I never get to see although asked several times just keep getting a doctor who keeps saying "not his specialityetc" dont even know consultants name.
The call from marsden agsin wasnt his consultant but one of team & have asked several times, but she hasnt called.
Do I use link for both hospitals ir one?
I'm literally in bits not sleeping eating GP as prescribed diazepam & food supplement drinks as I am not coping & have no support to help me.
Thank you for reply
If you go onto the page there is a link to find your local PALS office, I think the best option would be to do the hospital where your husband is now, but mention all the issues with them linking up with the Marsden.
