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.........
