"Outrageous"

About: Lindfield Medical Centre

Beware. I am suffering from Covid 19. I had a positive test on 5 days ago. Have been very unwell and unsafe under Lindfield Surgery.

I phoned Lindfield to be able to speak to a doctor about my condition because I have underlying asthma and often have chest infections and am 65 years old. None of the receptionists have put me through to a doctor in 5 days. They do not appear to care. I asked for anti virals knowing that my condition could become serious. Apparently only given to people who have cancer etc. I got worse had to phone 111 due to heart palpitations, an ambulance came around and tried to help. They were first class. The surgery keeps telling me to go to A and E Guess what I am too ill to drive and I live in the sticks. I have even done e consult but still I am being ignored, no doctors call. I have been told the doctors only work part time , there are not many doctors. Does anyone actually care to find more doctors. Can't the doctors work more hours than part time, to save patients suffering unnecessarily. To top it all off, I now have yellow pus after coughing alongside Covid , but I'm not even worth a telephone call for a prescription for antibiotics. I feel sorry for all the vulnerable people who are not being prioritized. Old people, babies, people with Covid, heart problems and cancer
