Has anyone had a hysteroscopy?
Women's Health | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (29)Comment receiving replies
@naturegirl5 that “doctor” (I had assumed she was!) turned out to be a nurse practitioner, and the clinic I went to was actually a fertility clinic - I guess my GP figured “any port in the storm!”.
Unfortunately we are an hour and a half drive away from Toronto and I don’t drive. Going by regional bus would take much longer!
Anyway, my doctor finally did find a gynologist and I had a consult with her early May (that’s how long a wait is!) and she wants me to do a repeat ultrasound. If results of thst ultrasound show know change, she said there will be no need for a hysteroscopy. 🤷🏼♀️ The earliest appointment I could get - in early May - was for July 13! That is how bad our health system is, here!

@rashida I used to worry about seeing a nurse practitioner vs. a physician but after very positive experiences with nurse practitioners at Mayo Clinic I’ve revised my opinion. Still, you thought your GP referred to a physician, and it wasn’t, and then it was a fertility clinic? Can you hear me say that long, drawn out…….ooookkkkk?
Anyway, you did see a gynecologist 6 weeks ago and she’s ordered a repeated ultrasound and it’s more than a month away? Yes, that’s very slow and it would sure bother me too. What can you do? As we, in the U.S. deal with the mess insurance companies make over medical care and the move toward more in profit companies owning medical practices and hospitals the U.S. medical system is surely in trouble. I hear more about Ontario’s health care system than the other provinces but maybe that’s because of the news source that is reporting it?
