Mater Hospital - endocrinology appointment

OanaC

Hello world!
I am writing to you in despair as I am not sure how does the medical system in Ireland work.
It's been almost two months since I visited Mater Hospital and gave them the GP letter together with my blood test results (worried sick about the results as I am not on any treatment and I should be - thyroid related).
My TPOAb were over 1300 and I feel like fainting all day long. It is really bad as I can't concentrate, I can't drive, I barely can walk myself around.
Is there anything I can do to receive that outpatient appointment letter by post this year? It will probably last another 6 months till my actual appointment time but at least I know that I have something to hold on to.
I called them and the lady who answered said I am not in the system yet. Does this mean that no one red my results after 6 weeks of waiting time? How are the consultants prioritizing their appointments if nobody wrote down my name on the file after 6 weeks?
Please advise me if there is anything I can do to get a diagnostic and hopefully a treatment before it will be too late as my situation will only get worse without the proper medical help.
Regards,
Oana
