St Georges NHS Hospital Trust

Having my annual infusion for osteoporosis earlier  this week was informative. The bus to St Georges NHS Hospital Tooting was the sensible way to travel there as car parking is difficult. There was little queuing for the infusion and I was treated promptly.

The helpful infusion nurse upon seeing the book I was reading, mentioned that her father was reading the same novel The Predicament by William Boyd. I told her my view that the book was fascinating but probably more apt for male readers than female; but who knows?

The infusion went well and quickly, possibly because one or two other patients may not have turned up which is a waste of NHS time and money. Later I was asked to attend the St Georges Pharmacy receive two weeks supply of vitamin D globules. 

Amazing that the visit to St Georges the supply of the globules and today's visit to the Raynes Park GP surgery were all free of cost to me. 

The doctor at Raynes Park told me that my kidneys were deteriorating  and that this resulted from a number of factors. about which she will liaise with St George's.

The GP who told me that she had a full working today today (Saturday) said that she would  let me know if   the St Georges Rheumatology department  advised on  any further action that I could usefully take, beyond my daily walks over Wimbledon Common.
