"Fiona Stanley Hospital Outpatients Clinic 8"

After a 12 month wait to get an appointment with the Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic at Fiona Stanley Hospital, I was told by the doctor at my appointment that they could not find my test results. The doctor informed me that as the test results were not there I would have to have them done again. While in the doctor's room I called my GP to have them re-faxed. I knew they had been sent before because I had spoken to the registrar of endocrinology 3 months earlier and they were looking at my results and discussing them with my GP and I over the phone. The doctor at today's appointment then told me that it did not matter anyway because they were in a hurry to get through today's appointments because they were going on 4 weeks holiday this afternoon. The doctor did not want to wait for the fax or locate the results. I felt like I was just an annoyance to the doctor, as I was holding up their holidays. I have a tumor on my parathyroid gland. It took 3 and a half years to get a diagnosis and now it looks like it's going to take another 3 and a half years to have it removed. I cried all the way home in the car.
