Private doctors. Hmmmmm. I once had a mole that looked a bit crusty so decided to go private to get it removed.  The consultant remove it within two weeks but then it too 6 months for him to get back to me on whether it was OK or not. Six months! I made call after call and was told ' the letter would be in the post'.  Eventually I got a two line letter that said ' Just a little normal mole ' and then ' Hope you enjoy your holiday' - which was 5 months previous!  The stress inbetween and no I didn't enjoy my holiday because I was stressing about the mole he had sliced. I will be doing minor surgery myself from now on.

Pmj 28 - have a word with the Practice Manager with a covering letter stating what you have told us.  There is absolutely no need for this type of crap from Surgeries to Patients!
