"Appointment issues"

I was supposed to have an appointment for rheumatology last week at Stonehouse Hospital. I haven’t seen anyone for over 12 months and I had a call from an advisor saying I was 4 months overdue, which appointment I NEVER received and they was not any communication about an appointment either.

She made one for me for last Tuesday at Stonehouse Hospital and I have never been there before had to get someone to take me there as there’s no bus route. I was still waiting at after an hour to see a doctor and found out there were only 2 doctors on site who were running 6 clinics of different things.

There were another 2 people in front of me. I couldn’t wait any longer as I had someone waiting outside for me and also had another doctor’s appointment shortly after.

I think it’s shocking that they give you an appointment time and you still have to wait almost 2hrs to see anyone!

My condition of psoriasis’s arthritis for over 12 months and I still haven’t been seen even by rheumatology though I’m getting worse and I’m not going back to the Stonehouse Hospital again!

I’m normally treated at Hairmyres and have not received another appointment since then.
