I remember when I first went to the clinic with the hands, the consultant looked at them, hen injected the cortisone there and then. That was the case for the first four or five treatments., perhaps three times year. Now the clinics are only on twice a year., and it all has to be done under live x ray vision, with a room full of various medics. When I've had to go private, I just rock up at the appointed time, consultant looks at the hands, injects and Im off home £300 lighter, all done in ten minutes.
I miss the old days. GPs don't do anything now at Doctors. I can remember as a kid being stitched up twice by the doc, no anesthetics, having fluid drawn out of bad knees, cortisone stuck in etc. These days, all they do is refer you on to a waiting for treatment elsewhere.
