Abnormal blood test result communicate with patient it said .......that was July. It’s now August.
All I’ve received is text messages asking me to call the surgery. What do they think I’ve been doing since July ? The straw that broke the camels back came yesterday when I received a phone call from them saying I need to call them!
I am perplexed as to why a doctor is not contacting patients with abnormal results and discussing them? Surely if the docs have called me they can make me an appointment to speak with someone. They’ve removed the on line booking system, you can’t just queue up anymore they say you have to call. Phone lines were opening from 7am it now 8am, but whatever time I try and call I’m constantly met with the same message...your call cannot be answered due to the high level of calls.....dead tone !!! The lady asked me yesterday am I having symptoms ? What do you mean by that ? Of course I have symptoms constantly ! The conversation did not go well because I’m tired of explaining why I haven’t spoken to a doctor yet. It’s disgraceful. I’d hate to be an elderly patient under their care I really would it’s scary. I’m not supposed to have any stress due to my medical condition but this surgery makes me worse by the ridiculous booking system.
