Well, it's been 20 months since I last posted here, and 20 months since I saw my GP.
I received a letter from a company called
Medinet at the start of January, as it seems the Ulster Hospital has got them in to deal with the huge waiting list backlogs here.
Anyway, my appointment was for this morning at 9:40am, however I got a call from Medinet during the week telling me the consultant was seriously ill and the appointment had been cancelled. They also asked me what I was meant to be seeing the consultant for... when I told them gynecomastia, they asked me if I could spell it!
Then, this morning, at 9:35am, I got a call from Medinet asking me if I'd received a call earlier in the week cancelling my appointment. I said yes... they said it was a mistake and could I come to the Ulster Hospital ASAP. I got there to find the place in a complete shambles. Again I was asked what I was there to see the consulatant about, as they didn't have my GP's referal letter etc.
Anyway, after waiting over an hour I saw Mr Mohammad Ali Jawad. He seems quite a nice guy... just Googled him
http://www.privatehealth.co.uk/privatespecialists/find-a-doctor/cosmetic-surgeons/mohammad-ali-jawadHave any of you guys had any experience of him?
I asked when they are likely to do the op... but he didn't know. He didn't know where they would be doing it either.
I'm getting nervous now. Any other guys from Northern Ireland in the same boat?
