March 2016 - The GP's Letter

8/19/2016

The GP I saw was new. He seemed oddly flustered as he divulged that he was moving to another practice and insisted that my ophthalmologist from Solihull Hospital had to make the referral to Moorfields.

I felt like I was back at square one because I still had not been seen by the consultant ophthalmologist to get the second topography to measure the steepening of my corneas and he had seemed quite uninterested in my plight.

However, the GP did give me a letter stating how my daily life was being impacted - how I had to use the white cane for mobility or get assistance from my children and friends.

That letter felt massively important. It was a written validation of how changed my life had become.
