I got all of our private insurance paperwork completed and signed (including paying the fourteen pound fee for our GP's signature), got approval from the insurance company and went to see the GP in order to get a private referral so that we could finally see the cardiologist as soon as possible rather than wait until the end of November.
I had an appointment with a doctor I hadn't seen before. This is the way it works at our surgery. You see whoever is available and there is so much turnover and/or locums working there that you may never see the same doctor twice. If you have a certain GP that you like to see, as I do with pregnancy stuff, then you have to be prepared to wait weeks for an appointment. I didn't want to wait weeks so I took the first person available.
The new doctor is either new to the profession or new to NHS work because he took his time, didn't look totally exhausted, listened to and answered my questions, expressed real interest in Toby's case and didn't seem the least bit jaded. Amazing. He was also obviously a miracle worker because with one phone call he got us an appointment for TUESDAY... ON NHS!! So we won't have to pay the deductible on the private policy and Tobes gets to see the top cardiologist. I am astonished. God bless Dr Kalil.
