This policy has been introduced to save money or reduce waiting lists, not because it’s what is best for patients.

It took over six years to finally be referred to a specialist, who correctly diagnosed me after one minute, compared to six years of incorrect diagnoses and a series of unnecessary antibiotics and steroids.
