Mr Saifal Turk

Written by a patient at Royal Lancaster Infirmary

I cannot say i fully trust the doctor as i have only had a consultation but he was very professional but i felt very much at ease, he had read up on me and was very confident. The appointments he said I needed have come through to me and I am waiting now for that treatment.

Mr Turk is a gentleman, and there are not too many left. He listens and engages, putting my wife and I at ease when it matters. He also - and very important this - he does not blind us with science which must be extremely difficult in his profession. It is tempting to say I hope never to see a doctor again but, if I have to, Mr Turk will do for me.

The meeting on 14 Nov 2017 was the first opportunity for me to understand the implicatioons of CIS (as a result of a biopsy 25 Oct 2017) Almost without preamble Mr Turk stated that there were two options - 1 Bladder removal or 2 BCG. He explained bladder removal was a big operation.... He stated that BCG would take pace over a six week period followed by another rigid cystoscopy/ biopsy. He then stated that if the biopsy result was that the CIS had not been cleared then I would be 'offered' Bladder removal. The consultation was then ended by him stating a CNS nurse would now answer any questions etc. A nurse (in attendance) explained the CNS nurse was not available! Mr Turk shrugged his shoulders and left me to my own devices. I do not think he has any empathy!

A very helpful and pleasant man, it was not to clear whether this appointment was to replace my Dec. appointment with Mr Cutting, if so do I still need to have my blood tests in Dec.please advise.
