So, I've decided I totally give up with my hospital. They've finally decided to let me in a little on what my test results mean. For those of you that don't know, I suffer from blackouts from time to time, and I've been having hospital tests over the past year, the last one was in March and they're only just telling me now after saying "your doctor will explain" for 3 months and my doctor telling me "they haven't sent me anything". I received a letter yesterday afternoon stating this ;
"I am very sorry for my tardy response to your letter dated 20th August. There was a delay in getting hold of the above-named lady's notes.
To clarify, the tilt test demonstrates evidence of reflex syncope which is best managed medically in the first instance.
Treatment is essentially with straightforward lifestyle matters such as staying well hydrated, having an adequate salt intake, use of isometric exercises and sometimes tilt training.
On discussion with Dr Lloyd, we would like to offer this lady a follow-up appointment in his clinic to discuss in greater detail."

Then this morning I get a letter saying that my follow up appointment is on Thursday 27/01/2011.
EXCELLENT !
So even though I've been requesting this info since about June, I'm waiting until January. No rush eh?

Rant over. Now to try and get my iPhone fixed again !
Something tells me I shouldn't of downloaded the 4.1 software on to it?! xo

I hate hospitals. They really like to bullshit around. It sucks to be in the state of having to go in the first place and one step in there BAM a hundred dollars. Sit on their chair BAM another hundred dollars. Use their toilet paper, BAM a hundred dollars! And usually it's to wait around (in pain) for an hour (another 100) and then they look at you at a glance and tell you to go home and take some benedryl/ibuprofen. BAM! You have yourself a 500 dollar check to pay off as welll as having to stay home from work from being sick in the first place. Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit.
