doctors and surgeries are a nightmare
Bless bless, bless you sounds like hell and really in need of someone you can rely on right now, really don't know what I can say other that maybe a new surgery and we have a system call palls here in Swindon and you can see if it comes under any medical neglect or something like that it wont bring back the help you needed but groups like that can help you be acknowledged , so your voice isn't lost in the traffic. big hugs right now and hope your infection is healed asap. PS hope there's a group like this in your area.
Well done, once you realised the incompetent fools you normally deal with were not helping, you took positive action and got the treatment you should have got from day 1.
What you should do now is make an official complaint to the GMC for the diabolical treatment you received or lack of it. And then they had the cheek to strike you off for daring to complain, if I was you I would try to sue them if you can.
Make a complaint here gmc-uk.org/about/contactus/...
Thanks for support unfortunately no group like that to help out. and yes I have made official complaint and am having a look round to see if I can claim them for all the grief caused. found new docs but its 5 mile away from me where other was round the corner. now got to go through barrage of tests which not looking forward to but at least new doc making the effort.Big thanks and hugs to U for taking time to respond and be supportive. Just love this site.. xxx
