I phoned the surgery to make a doctor's appointment and it was suggested I phone the next day at 8am and book a triage discussion with a doctor. I phoned as requested at 8.07am to find all the triage appointments had gone. The doctors I usually see were not available but I could see a Dr. Despande who regularly covers for one of the doctors I had requested, later that morning. The day before I had collapsed and gone to A&E at Good Hope General Hospital. They diagnosed a left bundle branch blockage to the heart, usually indicative of a heart attack, but my blood test results were normal. They had never seen this before saying that the electrical network of the heart had been disrupted resulting in the blockage of blood to the heart. I suggested I had heard of this before as a consequence of wifi radiation on the heart. They agreed this was a possibility. I related my story to Dr. Despande. He was astonished but he listened was sympathetic, arranged the blood tests the hospital had told me to discuss with my GP. I'd not met this doctor before but he was brilliant; open minded and a listener. He accepted the information I gave him that I had collected about the effect of wifi. I was delighted. On leaving I asked the receptionist about the volume of patients and she replied that there had been a massive increase in patients wanting appointments and that they were doing all they could to manage it professionally.
