What sort of follow up shoulda she be getting here? Mum is on a disability pension. Her treating doctor I hospital sent a letter to her gp (which took well over a week to arrive - AFTER the follow up appt we were told to make). Said mum needs a specialised MRI - if gp refers, it's $300+, no Medicare rebate AT ALL. If specialist refers it's bulk billed! She has had blood tests which show her pancreatic enzymes are still whacky, and the gp wants monthly monitoring. Monthly! What the? Shouldn't it be more regular at least for a while? Mum is going back to go again tomorrow to see if she can arrange referral for test via specialist as they simply can't afford $300 for test and she won't end up having it done...
