Consulting my rheumatologist feels like an appointment with a high-powered lawyer, piercing intellect and exorbitant fee rate. The £ quickly tick away. I'm glad that I've prepared my history beforehand because time is money.
I demonstrate my immobility by perching stork-like on one leg, and then have an ultrasound scan of my knee which indicates regions of inflammation.
Time for MRI scan, tricky thing to pin down this diagnosis.
Later I reflected that I was pleased with the choice of consultant, quick on the uptake, told it straight and gave the impression of being up to date in the field - maybe a tad light on empathy!
