a little confused

Hamhide

hey there peeps,I'd like some advice on something thats racking my head for ages now,its got me all worried too


anyways i got my appointment in loughlinstown with Dr, O'shea around november(ish).I got a call from their secatery saying its on the 25th of april,now here's the thing.A week after i got that appointment I got a letter saying I have an appointment to see a Dr.Canavan on the 23rd of May.Now i've called them a million times to see if there was a mixup or maybe i'm double booked or something like that.But as I'm sure you know its easyer to get in touch with the president then the endocrine unit at columcille's.I've called,left messages,tryed to explane my situation at the front desk but all they do is transfer me.So what do I do? should I go to the first appointment and hope I got it right or wait till the one I got on the letter?

many thanks in advance

well I have both,the first is next monday.I'm just worried there was a mixup or something and 1 of them isnt real and i'll go to the wrong one

L.Jenkins

I'd say go with both. Not being a smart áss, but whos Dr. Canavan?

Hamhide

I have no idea,i've checked him out and he's a Dr at columcilles but other then that i dont know any more

Always go to the first one. If it's a mistake worst thing that's happened is they tell you, and you have to make another trip. If you don't go and that was the right one, then you've wasted a day AND missed your long awaited appointment and have to wait for months again. Not worth it IMHO.

Dr. Canavan is one of O'Shea's assistants.

O'Shea is also a diabetes doctor - he's just been landed with the job of looking after trans people.

That's an unfortunate way of looking at it and hopefully not one he shares.

I suppose it's good in a way that there are 2 endocronoligists in the country dealing with trans issues rather than one?

i agree.the more the merrier i say.I'm just worried i'll be wrong and mess it all up i'm going to go to the fone appointment i got and worst case senario i'll get it wrong and be a bit embarrased and go home to cry lol
