Following from me suffering from neck pain for several weeks, I finally managed to get a suitable appointment to see the doctor, which resulted me going for an x-ray of my next. I managed to get an appointment after two weeks to see a GP to discuss my x-ray results.
While looking at my results the GP mentioned that I had high blood pressure showing, I was concerned and I ask the GP if they could check my blood pressure, while I was there.
Their response was no you will need to make another appointment to check your blood pressure or go to a pharmacy and have it checked there. I was so disappointed to hear a GP responding to a simple request that would have taken them just 2 mins or less to just check me out there. So I went to pharmacy and they had no one to check me and they also charge as well, I went to retail shop medical dept but they do not do it there. So is it right to be sent away to wait for another 2 weeks for another appointment to check my blood pressure, which would have taken this GP not long to check me to see if my blood pressure was high or not? So disappointing.
