"Recent internal bleeding..admitted to hospital"

About: Tong Medical Practice

Good Morning..I was recently admitted to hospital with severe internal bleeding..After tests carried out it was diagnosed by a particular doctor as problem with my meds..Rivaoxaban and aspririn...I was found to be very anemic and they thought about a blood transfusion but this idea was forgotten...my red blood count had dropped to 92 ....I was released from hospital after five days and my blood count was still in the 90ties..So now a few weeks have passed and I am still anemic with count of 99...I saw the same doctor last week who again told me I am anemic. Is it not about time someone sorted my blood count as I am tired and not moving well...Surely I need some supplement to bring this level up...I know this is not all Tong medical practice fault but I feel that a doctor should be able to help with my current problems...Finally I have always had excellent service from yourselves and do not like to complain but sometimes you have to...Finally I am suffering badly with arthritis and saw another doctor yesterday I was disappointed with the whole appointment . This Doctor is usually very good and tries to sort my complex health problems...I found him to be very negative and offer no help or support yesterday.....I understand arthritis is a lot of self help and this is what I have to do but a little bit of support may have helped...I apologise if you think I am a it harsh in my comments but having had so much help from yourselves over the years I am a little disappointed in your recent service...Kindest Regards Michael Coleman..

Dear Mr Coleman

We are sorry to hear about this and apologise for the incident.

I understand Dr Moulson has spoken to you to discuss your concerns, and we hope the care subsequent to this has approved at the practice.
