percivalAs you may remember, our German paediatrician suggested that we have our daughter's eyes checked by a paediatric ophthalmologist.
After waiting two weeks for a GP appointment, today was the big day. The GP we saw didn't even take a good look at our daughter's eyes. She honestly said that she didn't know how to refer to paediatric ophthalmology because it was such a small field and not her speciality. She'll talk to the Health Visitor and let me know. I'll talk to my Health Visitor separately.
As you may guess, I'm distinctly underwhelmed. I thought that, having voiced serious concern and gotten the expert opinion of a paediatrician who routinely screens babies' vision, I would get a referral. I thought I would have to wait quite a while, but hey, such is life ... I wasn't expecting this.
Ah well, at least the GP was honest.
