"Fed up!"

I am just fed up with the whole state of our surgery now. It takes ages to get an appointment. My daughter has been on the waiting list to have a coil removed and put back in for well over a year! She was told that any doctor could remove it and if she made an appointment for that, she could have another one fitted at a later date.

She went in today to have it out and they wouldn’t remove it!! Despite her saying she wants it out! Surely that’s up to her! It’s been in for much longer than it should be and she wants it out. Isn’t the surgery supposedly to involve you in decisions about your care and treatment? My daughter is VERY uncomfortable, it’s her body and her choice! They told her she’d start getting periods again if it was removed. She’s getting them anyway so the thing is obviously not working as it has been in for too long.

Now she has been put back on the waiting list. Ridiculous! Why can’t we go back to a time where any doctor could do it at any time? The whole reason our GP surgery is failing is because of the growth of the Romsey population. I thought it was because of the houses being built but maybe it’s because our surgeries can’t keep up with the demand for contraception?!

I absolutely love some of our GPS and receptionists but as a whole and since the merger, I’m afraid to say that I’m losing faith.

I went onto the website to see how I leave negative feedback and it sent me to a form to fill out. This was the place I was directed for positive feedback! Why should people only see the positives?
