"Difficulty getting appointments"

About: Glenfield Hospital / Cardiology The Limes Medical Centre

(as the patient),

Peripheral arterial disease, legs, hips, testicals lower chest all filled with fluid, 12 steps out of breath, couldn't bend, Michelin man, got pneumonia. At hospital I saw heart doc. I was told I nearly died, put me on water pills. Fluid went in 48 hours.

It felt like 2 years of pure hell, and not one doctor picked up what was happening.

2 years of asking for medical change to be looked at, and rebuffed. Now at limes medical,... It feels almost impossible to see same doctor, I think that's just bad medical practice, almost no diabetes care, drugs. It feels like a headache to obtain call and I have been told they are busy, no appointments available, but when I drive there and 2 cars in carpark, and with seemingly waiting rooms empty.
