I was "assumed" to be suffering from CP by a hospital consultant
Just because my mobility is so poor - a urology consultant put me down on my medical notes (dating back 18 months) as suffering from CP.

He clearly was not aware that CP can't be developed later in life (I am almost 60) but still has NOT "apologised" for this error - simply telling me that he will update my notes to show that I do not have CP !!
He hasn't even admittted that he made a mistake or where he got the incorrect info from.
I am still waiting for a fix for my urological problem.........

    I hope you get an explanation and that your urological issue is addressed @Wibbles

    This sounds really frustrating @Wibbles - especially as the hospital consultant won't even apologise or admit to making a mistake. Please do not hesitate to let us know how things go for you. Hopefully, you will receive some responses soon. In the meantime, if we can do anything to support you, please don't hesitate to let us know  :)
