    Well I've just rung up to chase the physio dept.... and they've still not got it...a week later! I told them it got referred last friday and she said "yeah but it doesn't come straight to us, it goes in a blue bag and then goes to somewhere else and then it comes to us later and it take a bit of time"...so I was like thinking what a ridiculous system then?! So her solution was to wait til Tues to ring back and see if they've got it yet. :angry: So I asked if it would speed things up to get my doc to fax it through again - "well yes, we'd get it quicker but it still has to get triaged and the physio's only go through them in the mornings". *Sigh* So I ring the GP and they tell me that they faxed it through in the first place!!! WTH?? :angry: So I'm waiting not only the waiting list time, but also the time it takes for them to get their act together to receive the referral in the first place?? Surely that doesn't make sense?

    BZ words fail me. What a convoluted, inefficient system. For crying out loud, we're in the electronic age; surely they should be able to do all this stuff almost instantaneously??:confused::confused::confused: Oh wait, I'm forgetting, this is the No Hope Service.:rolleyes:

    It gets better... my little town's hospital is now pretty much an outpatient place plus walk in centre. So I figured I'd try the big local hospital's physio department...they've not heard of my referral either, told me to go back to the GP. Asked GP who exactly they sent it to, they said the booking centre and gave me their number. Rang the booking centre and they'd not heard of my referral either, but told me that referrals to physio shouldn't/don't go through them any more, because the physio depts make their own appointments! So back I go to the GP and tell them to fax the referral straight to the local physio department. *sigh* Let's hope that it goes through this time...:rolleyes:

    *crashes* So dealt with landlady by pointing out the site hasn't been updated since 2007 so is unlikely to have the latest information...

    And now a cousin I like, who suffers from chronic daily headaches and ADHD, yet is still managing to attend the Royal Veterinary College full-time, has set in on me about how I'm not thinking positively enough and if Stephen Hawking can do it so can I. I f-ing WISH! I've tried so hard in the past to lead a normal life that I made myself even more sick doing it. I wish I could show her that. I don't even know where to start talking to her about this one.
