"GP should have read my notes"

About: Merseyside

(as the patient),

I regularly see the same GP for continuity however needed to see a different GP today as a prescription was due to run out.

This GP seemed to make judgements about my health issues without looking into my case history (I realise they only have 10 minute slots to see patients so checking somebody's medical history fully would be difficult), however if they spent just a few minutes reviewing my recent notes, they'd have noticed there were very good reasons as to why I was suffering with the health condition I was going back to review today. This GP unfortunately took it upon themselves to make a series of judgements which were more harmful than helpful & made me feel quite upset by their lack of sensitivity.

Maybe it was because they were rushed (they'd left a urine sample open on the sink in his surgery which perhaps indicates this as I'm certain they'd have cleaned it up before the next patient came in normally) however my other GP is equally as busy & always has such a caring, patient & respectful attitude.
