Hello I hope someone can explain this
On Tuesday 8th January 2019 we traipsed along to Salford Royal to pickup the equipment for an overnight breathing test to be done at home ( the only instruction was to bring a tight t-shirt that would be used to sleep in )
When we got there my neck was measured; questioned about my sleep pattern and we were presented with a wrist-watch style monitor wired to a pulse probe for the forefinger, a fingersock, some tape and questionnaire to be filled in the morning. The whole “consultation” lasted less than 10 minutes
After that the monitor and stuff had to be returned to Salford Royal and just dropped off in the morning
What gives and why could this not be done at the local hospital or GP ( rather than wasting 2 days of my wife’s time and £40+ in taxis)
