I am one of the many suffering from the after affects of COVID. Even worse, are the endless trips to the GP, waiting lists to see specialists, and the financial difficulties of being off work. I had had enough, and decided to go private. I know it is costly, but in attempt for some reassurance that I was not going mad, I felt I had no choice. I have seen several doctors at Kings Park Hospital in Stirling, and they have all been amazing. As one of my major ailments was chest pain and with X-rays and CT scans showing nothing sinister, I wanted some answers, so I booked an appointment with Dr Cameron. From the minute he ushered me into his consulting room, he could not have been more professional, thorough and understanding. He went above and beyond, not just from listening to my long saga of COVID and post-COVID, but examining all areas where I was affected. I really felt that he was treating the whole malaise and not just where I was suffering pain. Not only did he give me a reassuring diagnosis, but he allayed any fears of recovery, albeit a slow one, and I came away feeling that I had been listened to. Being a long-hauler can be an isolating place, but I now know what I am required to do to get my fitness back, and I am working even more on my recovery. Please do not think that I do not appreciate the help I have been afforded by the NHS, but going private has given me hope, as well as avoiding the never-ending NHS waiting times. Sure, it means I need to go without, but what price can you put on your health?
