This feels like a trap.

Did it anyway because I’m a sucker.

omg here’s a story about what I’ve just gone through:

I was referred to Chiropody by my Rheumatology consultant back in AUGUST and heard nothing until a couple of weeks ago when I received a letter in the post to say I had to call to confirm I that wanted an appointment.
During the call, they then said they’d be calling me within the next week or so to confirm the date.
A week passed, and the phone rang, except they weren’t confirming the date, I was having a phone consultation, in which the Chiropodist said “Ah, yes, you definitely have reason to be referred, you’ll get a letter in the post about an appointment”.

I reckon it’s a new tactic to preserve NHS resources, like when the DWP make people wait five hours to speak to someone about new benefits claims.

Ugh, the frustration.

I had a similar experience, where I was referred for physio, and waited months and months and chased up similar circular letters. When I actually got the appointment, it turned out to be five minutes long, and the physio just prodded me, and went “oh yes, this is definitely bad”, and then handed me a photocopied sheet of some basic stretches. When I said “er, am I not getting treated?” she went “oh, that’s not actually covered now, you need to be referred again, and it takes about three months currently, just keep taking the painkillers instead”. I ended up going to a training school and being one of the guinea pigs the graduating students have to practice on to get their clinical hours, because I couldn’t afford to go private.

This sounds awfully familiar. I waited ages for a referral, which turned out to be for the main injury/rehab physio and not the pain or rheumatology ones. Was handed a sheet of exercises and sent on my way.
