Lack of organisation let me allow it to go on for so long, yet always at the back of my head was a voice saying: Go and see Dr Chen!
Anyway, I am seeing him again in two days' time and have every confidence that I will be back to normal without the hassle of ringing 37 times to see a GP and wait another few months to see a physio, who probably wouldn't be as effective.
It's sad to say this about the NHS, because I absolutely believe in the principle and most people who have physical or mental problems can't afford to see someone privately. I struggle too. The NHS needs proper funding and an overhaul, unless it is just there to treat emergency cases.
But, if you are looking for an endorsement of someone who has helped another over many years, where the NHS has failed, then I wholeheartedly endorse Dr Chen.
Unfortunately, he will be probably leaving soon. So see him while you can.
There have been one or two negative comments left by a few individuals and whilst no doubt their individual experiences might not have been good, they seem to me to be related to voucher schemes, miscommunication and language barriers, rather than clinical outcomes.
If I was giving a present to someone, I certainly wouldn't give them a voucher to see Dr Chen. He's not that kind of practitioner. If someone bought me a voucher for a birthday/anniversary present, I'd want to go skydiving, not see a man in a small clinic who is about relieving pain, building a relationship and getting to know your body. Instead, I would recommend him and insist they go and see him and would give them the money if I had it - which, by the way, is very reasonable when compared to many other clinics.
It's such a shame that the NHS doesn't invest in clinicians such as Dr Chen. It would keep a lot of people out of hospital and also help patients with chronic conditions which the NHS is not very good at dealing with.
