The week before Christmas I was admitted to The Royal Blackburn with excruciating pain in my right kidney and lower abdoman, I spent the night on Urology(not the ward, they had no beds), they did several tests and sent me home the next day none the wiser, the consultant thought it may be ovarian cysts or kidney stones and made an appointment for me to have a ct scan in January, I went for the ct scan and was told it would be 2 or 3 weeks before I got my results, 6 weeks later I am still no closer in finding out what this horrible pain is in my kidney, I have just called Mr Wemyss-Holdens receptionist (consultant) and she said they will be sending the results out this week..... Why would I be told 2 to 3 weeks when 6 weeks later they haven't even typed the results up?

Did they say I would get them this week because I rang up? Would I have ever got the results if I hadn't called the hospital?

How long should you be expected to wait for results? I gave them an extra 3 weeks

Rant over.
