"Poor practice"

About: Blackpool Victoria Hospital / Accident and emergency GPs in Blackpool

(as a service user),

I have been in agony with my stomach and back for over 2 months because not one of 3 health professionals suggested an h-pylori test. These include a GP and an A&E doctor, both who didn't even have a feel around my stomach. I was sent away and told to continue with paracetamol and ibuprofen. This was such bad advice as the ibuprofen could have been irritating the condition. I find this absolutely shocking bad practice and thank God we still have some good doctors as the last doctor ordered extensive investigations. 2 months of being in unnecessary agony; 2 months of not being able to do any exercises also. Beyond disappointed with the service.
