I had an appt booked yesterday for Obstetics, my Midwife never referred me, i just got a letter in October saying to go on the 29th Jan. I went yesterday, pee'd in a pot, blood pressure taken, sat and waited an hour to be told by the consultant "you're here for your fibroids, but as no ones mentioned anything about them in the scan I guess they're not an issue" and that was it. i was dismissed. As i was leaving she said to me "you'll get a letter in the post for your next appt"
why do i need to go? She's done the same thing as my midwife who i see regularly...
I dont like the Hospital local to my work, so as I lived in between two I picked the other, so I go to one thats 45 minutes away from work and its a faff to constantly be out of work for GTT's, Scans, Dietician, Midwife, Anastetic Specialist, etc. Whilst my work are all smiles and saying its fine, I'm not ok with myself constantly being out of the office, it takes the pee a bit, if i now add Obstetrics to the list its a bit ridiculous. I'm an accountant so its a "work till the works done" kinda job, so all it means, whilst its not forced, i end up working 12 hour days after days with appts to try and get back a float and I'm exhausted.
Just wondered if i could cancel the next one or if that'll be a massive red flag against me if I do...
