"Uninterested Doctor"

About: Colliers Wood Surgery

I very infrequently visit a doctor.Last week I saw a locum doctor who was very helpful ,I suffered over a month from shortness of breath,headache sore throat,feeling very hot occasionally,left hip,leg and shoulder aching,no energy.He sent me for a blood test and said I will need an x Ray.He said to make a follow up in one week.

I then saw a permanent doctor,He said "why are you here?"

I said the other doctor said to come in .He said your blood test is good.You just had a sore throat- he was uninterested in all the other points I had made and he had no time or interest in talking to me.I said about the x - Ray.He said you had a sore throat why do you need an X - Ray.Why ask me ? I am there for help.

I am very angry and disgusted with the doctor's attitude and felt I totally wasted my time there .

My option now is to find a better surgery for the future.
