For the last 12 years I have been struggling with an ongoing health condition that despite an early diagnosis of sarcoidosis, a serious autoimmune condition. Throughout much of the time the serious nature of my condition has been overlooked and it has been suggested that I have sleep apnoea or depression and so forth.
I have laid this out in my autobiography, Things I Can Tell, which is available HERE. Although much of it is devoted to my life’s story it contains the whole saga which gets more bizarre as it goes on.
It will be quite familiar to those with chronic conditions.
After I completed my book last winter I got a message through the Holy Spirit that my condition would get worse suddenly and so it happened; within a day of completing my project I came down with what was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (although I do no think that was the end of the story by any means). I was also told that I would have heart problems.
I have to clarify that I have never had any covid jabs.
In the period before Christmas I started to experience chest pains. I decided to go to the doctor with this and was surprised that he took me seriously and referred me to the ER at the hospital and in fact was quite insistent.
It has occurred to me since that this may not have been so much due to his genuine concern but to a directive from-above, from the Ministry of Health. I had been seeing advertisements on You Tube admonishing people to take chest pains seriously and dial 111.
He warned me that the results of the tests may be inconclusive and that he wanted to refer me to a cardiologist.
That was before Christmas.
By the time I got to see him in mid-January when my condition had deteriorated the whole approach had been turned on its head. Instead of a referral to the cardiologist the doctor said he had spoken to the doctor who indicated that “he did not think” I had a heart condition.
So, basically I was fobbed off yet again and sent home with chest pains and no concern that he was interested in taking anything further. In fact he indicated surprise that I had even comeback to him for a face-to-face consultation.
I left it all for about a month until this week when I sent him an email that 3 days after I sent it remains unanswered.
To: Dr. L,
I have to report that the chest pain has not gone away. It is certainly not "self-limiting". It has become more regular and more debilitating with time.
When we spoke last time you said that you had spoken to a cardiolologist (when I had thought you were referring me) and indicated that he had opined that this "was not a heart issue".
Had I been more alert I would have asked if he did not think it was heart (based on one set of tests that you had warned me in advance might be inconclusive) what he thought the reason for chest pains might be.
Muscular? The heart is a muscle. The only other muscles I can think of are intercostal muscles.
Perhaps the chest pains and the exhaustion are the figment of an over-ripe imagination?
it does not seem ethical to me to have one set of basic tests done then just to decide not to take any action and just send me home.
Come to think of it you never answered a single one of my concerns.
Everyone I have mentioned this to has said I should demand an echo cardiogram. I did not know what that was, but now I do I tend to agree with them.

If your answer is no you had better have a damn good explanation why not. If it is because the system is overloaded because so many people have serious heart conditions you'd also better be honest and tell me.
Whatever the outcome truth matters more to me than anything else.i have had precious little of that since Dr. Crawford left. Perhaps you can break that pattern?
Yours sincerely,
Robin Westenra
I had been wondering what I was going to go next.
Yesterday, I got an answer in the form of a tweet from Lynda Wharton of NZ and the MRNA
A MINIMUM OF TWO YEAR WAIT TO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST AS AN OUTPATIENT !
AUCKLAND HOSPITAL CONFIRMS WAITING TIME ON CARDIOLOGY APPOINTMENT LIST...
'Our vaccine injured Kiwi called Auckland Hospital this morning to confirm how long she would have to wait to see a Cardiologist as an outpatient?
She did this following information from her doctor....that was so extreme she decided to check the facts herself.
Today Auckland Hospital confirms
A MINIMUM OF TWO YEAR WAIT TO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST AS AN OUTPATIENT
I wonder how many people will die in the meantime?
This response was quite typical:
Here is a recording from Australia confirming the same thing:
I tried ringing the cardiology department at my local hospital but never got any response so I decided to save my energy and give up on the idea. After all, the situation in Wellington is unlikely to be much different to what it is in Auckland.
The above came almost as a relief and at least I have some certainty, if not closure. I now know that I am hardly likely to get much change to my queries from the medical centre for whom I am nothing but a thorn in their side that is challenging their “business model”
As if to confirm that I came across an item from Radio NZ that showed that more than three-quarters of practices surveyed have closed their books to new patients or limited enrolments in the last four years. Essentially, they only want to sign on patients who are not going to strain their resources so patients with chronic condtions are locked out
Listen here:
To clarify - in the socialist islands of New Zealand people are not free to seek out the best and most competent practitioners but have to be registered with a medical centre.
That explains why I have had no answers for over 12 years.
I still have a latent desire to pursue the folk at my local medical cenre, to not allow them to get away with such a blatant disregard for the Oath they made and for their own patients.
I now know the real situation and I realise they hold all the power, which they will wield and I have not.
So, I have decided just to make peace with the whole situation and to live as best I can with my declining energy.
“Thy Will be done”
I shall continue to post here when my health and energy allows for it but if you hear nothing from me for several days you will know why.
?You might possibly consider NZDSOS online clinic ... https://health-helpline.co.nz/

I began getting left side chest pain late last year. The GP I go to has their own ECG machine. I presume its an ECG- a bunch of wires on the chest and the lab tech takes some screen shots of waves. For 50$ they gave me a quick ECG and said it wasnt myocarditis.
So perhaps there may be another GP in your region that has an ECG if you cant get into the public health system.
