"They do not care and don’t want to do any..."

About: Orsett Surgery

Doctors here just want you out the door as quick as possible and don’t care about your health. They have a 10 minute slot but then sit there going through your whole medical history on the computer before they speak to you. They don’t want to do any investigations of their own as to why you’re not well just want to give you a pill. If they have to do anything other than write a prescription they are at a loss! I feel so let down and so upset. They have started this thing where they only let you discuss 1 issue per appointment which is madness if you have a few symptoms you can’t treat each one separately you have to look at the person as a whole to diagnose!!! The doctor wouldn’t let me discuss all of my symptoms and just wanted me to focus on one. I don’t have the time to keep going in and saying one symptom at a time to a different doctor each time. YOU NEED TO DIAGNOSE A PERSON AS WHOLE!!!! I feel weak and faint have chest tightness and raised heart rate, shortness of breath and insomnia they are all linked!!! I can’t discuss each symptom with a different doctor one at a time! The doctor told me my increased heart rate of 188bpm is nothing to worry about as I was exercising. This has never happened before and was followed by chest tightness and the doctor said if an ecg is normal then it’s nothing to worry about.

Also saw a doctor for irregular periods the doctor kept refusing to give me a hormone blood test because I had one done 4 years ago! Even when I told her I was on the pill at that time and did the test on the wrong day of my cycle so the test was disregarded by my previous doctor. She even went as far as saying well what hormones need to be tested, she’s the doctor she should know! She knew I wouldn’t know and was then like well I’m not going to do a test because you don’t know what you need tested. She reluctantly wrote me a form with incomplete hormone panel tests, I know this because a quick google search shows she should have tested a lot more! Absolute let down
