disappointed

[Hatten28]

we’ll what a let down after all the stress of this week and being told to expect an urgent call from the doctor this morning, a doctor rang and asked me what was wrong.

Apparently he was a locum and knew nothing about what had occurred, I could not understand his

Accent and kept losing phone signal, after his taking advice he had been asked to do another ecg on me, but said he would not bother as I have an appointment for December 2nd.

Deflated is how I feel, still not long to wait until return to hospital

Thank you all for your support.

What a hassle. Dont they understand peoples concerns and upset, so uncaring. Hered hoping Dec 2nd brings you some assistance. Best wishes.

Thank you so much

I don't live in the UK, but I have read all sorts of stories such as doctors are paid for each person they put on a statin, or how many Covid vaccinations they administer - maybe they now get paid per phone call they make!

[meadfoot in reply to pusillanimous]

Clearly incentives are in place.

I can well imagine how you feel. Its just not good enough. I would be so cross.

Hope all goes well for you next month anyway.

Regards

Yes I agree keeping all things crossed for a better outcome, thank you for all your kind thoughts.

Sadly we have to put up with this now.Just awful.

[dunestar]

Useless and unacceptable. The least they can do is not add to your stress. Sending you positive thoughts and hoping the days will go quickly until your hospital appointment.

[Hatten28 in reply to dunestar]

so thoughtful of you I appreciate your remarks greatly.

Thank you.

hi there, I have been onto my doctor this week feel like you are banging your head at a brick wall. The lady at the pharmacy was much more helpful and understanding. There are only so many times you can say to some one I can’t understand what you are saying. He obviously hadn’t read your records.

[Hatten28 in reply to Gillybean123]

yes you are absolutely right, and did not pursue the matter as I felt embarrassed.

However my surgery is usually very good, this was a doctor I had never seen or heard of there, our nurses are brilliant.

I am so sorry you are going through all this with your own GP practice; the mind boggles. Hopefully you will get better support at your appointment.

[Hatten28 in reply to irene75359]

Thank you so much fo your very kind thoughts, I am still hopeful!

Alas, more evidence that the NHS is falling apart.

@hatten28 I would definitely flag up what happened to the GP practice manager if, as you say, the team are usually good. If they don't know, they can't prevent a repeat — with you, or another patient.

[Hatten28 in reply to emv54]

Thank you for your response, I have an appointment tomorrow with the diabetic nurse, I will mention It but not as a complaint merely as what happened.

Don’t like to make a fuss, not my style as I have such a good rapport with the surgery usually.
