I was sent to Ross Hall for a muscle biopsy. After the pre-op I was contacted by a member of staff and told that the operation had been cancelled as I had a heart blockage and I had to contact my GP to arrange a heart trace. This was so unprofessional, surely my GP or the Consultant who referred me should have been contacted in the first instance. This misdiagnosis led to a whole raft of tests all of which did not highlight an issue. After a CT scan it was confirmed that there were definitely no blockages just a little furring of an artery. The biopsy was arranged through the NHS and done under local anaesthetic which Ross Hall would not do. This delay resulted in my missing the opportunity to be involved in a pilot programme offering possible treatment for Sporadic Inclusion Body Mysitis. I am now left to wait 2 years until results of the pilot programme are known.
