General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

When I had an endoscopy (tube down the throat into the stomach), the NHS had a contract with one of our local private clinics. It really is the only way to get these things done soonest, as early detection of abnormalities is essential for a good outcome. It also supports the clinics as well so a win/win situation as far as I'm concerned. There was a small lab attached to the treatment room so the Consultant surgeon gave me the results straight away.
