how often should we see our concultant?

hi im from england and had my colonosopy in march 06 then a few weeks later went back for my results and to be told what medication i am being put on, this was pentasa suppositries. Thats it, i havent been back since rang him several occasions but he just fobs me off saying he might never need to see me again, so i spoke to my family gp and asked will he refere me to a new hospital and he refused also, saying the nhs here in england will not let me change hospitals or concultant because i already have one. This is driving me mad now, i feel like i am not getting the medical care and advice i need. Also my blood levels are not right and now i have to have monthly b12 injections my gp has left several messages with my concultant to get in touch to inform him on the injections that i now need but he cant be bothered getting back to my gp even.. arrggggggg

Easy way round it is to choose a top Consultant from BUPA or AXA private health, pay to see him after a referral from your doctor. Once you have paid him once he is you "consultant" - then you go back to the doctor and say you can no longer afford him and he will refer you to him at his NHS practise! I have the best consultant around Mr Chopada who replies to emails within an hour!

I see my doctor every 6 months

Hmm I don't know about the UK but the threat of a law suit for malpractise is usually enough to get them to pay attention to you for a few minutes. I'd only use this as a last resort mind you, health care under threat is still health care, but what of the quality? I'm not saying to actually sue him, just let him know that it is being considered because you can't get the quality of health care you feel you need.
