When I joined the surgery I was refused medication that Ihad been on for years, based on expense.
On challenging, I was told the doctor had made a mistake on the price so I could have it. This caused me great distress.
Around a year ago I was suffering from severe itching, the doctor informed me I had scabies.
As It became worse at the weekend, I visited the walk-in centre, they informed me I had no signs of scabies, confirmed by a doctor at this surgery a week later.
However, myself and my my wife had both wasted our time treating ourselves and cleaning, again causing great stress.
I had been informed by my consultant that to start fertility treatment I needed to get my GP to refer me, I booked an appointment, the doctor didn't have a clue what I was asking for or what to do.
Finally, I went for a scan arranged by my consultant, I was called by the GP surgery and told I needed to make an appointment about the results, this caused me great stress, as clearly something was wrong, this was not something that the GP was involved in and should not have been calling me about the the results.
They had recieved a letter from my consutant a month before informing them that I was suffering from stress.
I wrote an email to complain, but their only reply was to ask me to find another medical practice.
"Misdiagnoisis, medication refusals, appalling..."
