The wonderful young doctor who had done the original referral phoned - Dr Parnell.
She had the message about going to the private clinic and seeing a private consultant.
No problem, she would fax a letter to him this afternoon. She would also get on to Shrewsbury Hospital and get copies of the MRI which are computerized, sent to the private clinic.
She said this would be done electronically so they would have them later today.
We had a chat and she said the private clinic would keep her in the picture.
If I have any problems at all, I should go to the GP practice and she or a colleague doctor would make things happen. Whilst she was on the phone she also confirmed my repeat prescription for my blood pressure tablets was waiting to be collected.!
Spoke to Bupa – they re-iterated that all the costs will be covered by them for the private consultancy and also any hospital and post-operative treatments.
Both Mr Doherty, The Birmingham Prostate Clinic, and The BMI Priory Hospital in Birmingham that I am using are on their fee assured lists and approved.
