"Not a good start "

About: St. Margarets Medical Practice

New patient. I saw a Dr at this surgery for pain. I have been suffering with this for a while but only last month finally got a diagnosis from the hospital. First appointment with a locum Dr was not a good one. Dr said s/he was making a referral to the "Pain Clinic" but decided not to try and lessen my suffering from the pain but to instead leave me in pain with my back. In addition left me without treatment for an ongoing undiagnosed stomach pain. The Dr in question has referred me to see a specialist but still decided to leave me in pain.

Finally regards to my Mental Health s/he advised a "referral" to my Mental Health team had been done by my previous GP. I'm unsure how a referral can be made to a service I'm already under. The Dr ignored my question. A wrong diagnosis was also put on a referral.

Positive note, all the receptionist I have spoken to so far have been really nice and friendly.
