My husband committed suicide in September 2016 and died in front of me. I cannot begin to tell anyone how that feels. The doctors I was with were absolutely brilliant and caring from reception staff to all the doctors that I had contact with. Because I had to move areas after his death I found myself having to move doctors and registered with this practice. My first appointment with a locum doctor was so upsetting as the locum said that they could not sort out my repeat medications and I needed to see a partner for this. I made an appointment with a partner of the practice who I saw today who told me that I had been given the wrong information. Even though I have been on the medications that I needed for many years the doctor reluctantly agreed to give me a months supply but told me that I would need to be weaned off them over the next four months. I am in the depth of grieving but all the doctor did was make me feel guilty for taking the medications that had been prescribed to me years ago. I have come home from this appointment not knowing what to do. I am so upset. I have never felt the need,, ever, to leave a review about anything before. There was no empathy shown from this doctor even though they knew my circumstances.
