On Tuesday 17/10 I went in the surgery because my blood pressure was 180/100 I had an appointment with a doctor at 3 p.m , in the surgery my blood pressure was almost 200/120, I was prescribed a new medication and I was told to come back in the next morning for an appointment with another doctor, in the second day when I attended my blood pressure was the same, they increased my medication and made another appointment appointment for 20 of October. On 20 of October the doctor took blood tests, my blood pressure was 170/100 and I was told by the doctor to monitor my blood pressure and to bring it in the surgery after 5 days. I told my doctor that I am working and I need a fit note because I was told that might take 2 weeks for my blood pressure to settle, the doctor told me that if I feel that I need a fit note he will issue one in the next Monday because he cannot give me for the first seven days. Monday ( on 23rd of October I didn't receive nothing, in the next I called the surgery an I was told that the doctor is not in and they will send a message to him for the next day when he in the Surgery. On 25th October I didn't receive nothing so I went in the Surgery,after the identification first I was asked if I was seen by the doctor because the doctor said he didn't see me, I told them about all the appointments and I was told from GP reception that the doctor doesn't think I need a fit note. I am speechless and my blood pressure is up to the roof again, I am trying to keep my calm bu I am really disappointed .
