"Treated badly made to feel stupid"

About: Brant Road Surgery

i Have been feeling really ill for several weeks, I thought it was a virus.

I thought I had made an appointment with a Doctor but apparently the Practice Nurse said they didn’t do dr appointments in mornings and it was up to me if I wanted to leave and wait 2-3 weeks to see a Dr I said sorry but I feel so I’ll that I would not of got up if I had been told a Dr was not available

The nurse my blood pressure 3 times until she got a reading she was happy with we discussed my symptoms she examined my stomach I told I had a problem with Vit D and B12 absorbsion.

I then told her I been to see a nurse a few weeks about a really bad pain in the bone of my upper left arm for which she gave me painkillers and something to protect my stomach I explained that these had really upset something in my stomach and she gave me a prescription for different stomach tablets.

I have AF and said that my heart palpitations were extremely bad. She told me to make an appointment for a blood and she added she would try and work out what to test for.

Well next appointment available is 23/4/18 .

I went home feeling just as ill and feel she treated me like I was a time waster hopefully it is a virus and it will pass. I will start eating again I will like my coffee again and the ulcers in my mouth will go.
