x-rays and private medical care...

[Duff-Man]

Okay, this is not intended to be a medical thread per se. I'm not asking for medical advice or opinions, just for people's experiences with the practicalities and costs of using private medical care.

I've been referred by my GP for a chest x-ray. I can get one on the NHS, but I really don't fancy waiting anxiously for 2 weeks to get the results (which could be quite serious).

I'm wondering, has anyone here been for a chest (or similar) x-ray at a private hospital, and if so how much did it cost you? Also, how long was it before you got your results?

In the off-chance that someone has experience: Can anyone recommend somewhere around Nottingham?

Thanks guys,

By the sounds of it I guess I'm looking at around £200 ish then for a single x-ray and results-consultation.

As for the wait - I was told by the GP that it would be around 2 weeks for results from the QMC (on the NHS), and that results would be sent to the GPs surgery. Of course, I have to wait to get an appointment with the GP after that also...
