Waiting!

When you have Pulmonary hypertension or another long term condition you tend to have regular tests blood tests, CT scans, MRI`s etc etc. Most of these tests are noninvasive and are nothing to worry about the thing that gets to me  is the waiting  for the results.
Sometimes you have to wait three or four months before you get these results as you have to see your consultant for them and I think that is terribly unfair.The delay worries people who are ill and already have much to worry about unnecessarily I think. When you have had a test you should get those results within weeks not months. If consultants are not able to see you and tell you the results  then their juniors should be able to give you the information. If not I see no reason why the results could not be sent to your GP for them to inform you of the results.
Its about time that doctors thought more thoroughly about how they treat patients and tried to reduce the stress to a minimum they have to go through.Stress does no one any good but it can do great damage to anyone suffering  from a long term condition.
