I had X-rays of my right knee that I damaged about 6 weeks ago. It's a bloody struggle to work, and I'll tell ya.
At the time I presented to ER, It was the first week of school holidays so I had to wait for all the kids to be seen to that had broken bones from rip stick/scooter falls, and other injuries.
Was told to go home take 4 Panadole Osteo, 3 times a day, It should be good in a couple days.
2 weeks later I get to see my gp, who wants a MRI of my knee.
It's taken this long to have something done. 24 years ago I had brain aneurysm, 3 clips were used to stop the bleeding.
The joint where I was have an MRI, couldn't risk having me in the machine, so.
I've had to chase up my own health records.
I attended Clarence Valley imagining in Grafton when I had my bleed, flown to Royal Brisbane for the emergency op.
So I ring Royal Brisbane, I'm told that qld destroy their records after 11 years.
It should be in the My Health records, no it isn't.
I contact NSW Health, they destroy their records after 20 years, it should be in your My Health records, No it's not.
Back in contact with the Dr, they'll do X-rays & an Ultrasound.
That was supposed to of happened yesterday, No the building burns down, They reschedule for today in Grafton.
This afternoon I had these done, was told that I'm lucky I can walk unaided, my knee is stuffed. Well no poo Sherlock, I could of told you that, and I will need to ring my Dr's surgery to find the results.
As I drive home(3pm), I get a voice text(Blu tooth to the stero) from the Dr's surgery to call to make an appointment to discuss the test results, which I do.
I get a recording,
Please contact the surgery during opening hours, Monday-Thursday 8-5.
Fridays 8-2pm.
How the hell does that work?
You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.
