"Lovely staff but no useful outcome for health..."

I have made two visits to A &

E connected with cardiac failure and breathing problems. Staff were well intentioned but unable to actually provide help. I felt there is no point in going unless it is a straightforward issue like a broken limb. The only thing they tend to do is suggest you see your GP where it was actually my GP who told me to go to A & E if I was having a problem. Seems to be a lot of buck passing going on..

The CHOC doctor I saw kindly said she would arrange for me to see a cardiologist the next day but a few hours later I was contacted by phone and told that clinic was currently cancelled and guess what “ make an appointment to see your GP”.

Unfortunately my GP does not have cardiac expertise....that is why he is called a “general practitioner “!
