"Uncontrolled Critical Hypertension"

I handed in my prescription to the surgery on Monday of last week and called at the chemist on Friday to collect it. Since I have had so many failed prescriptions previously I made absolutely sure that I had completed it correctly. For no logical reason the vital and critical item never appears on the repeat prescription and I added it by hand. The form actually says that I should not hand it in more than 48 hours before its due but experience has shown that if I did this I would never get anything. On Friday I went to collect it and there was nothing there. I then had to return to the surgery and then back to the chemist. Since the surgery is not open again until Tuesday I would have no option other than to go to hospital A & E. The situation has become so bad that I must take it up with my MP. I am due at Glenfield Hospital next week and I cannot in honesty tell them that I take my prescription regularly as I cannot get it on a regular and reliable basis. It is ludicrous if it means that I have to go to hospital once a month to get a simple prescription. I have a high blood pressure and the GP surgery told me that my medication was critical.

In response to a previous post about similar experiences that have become my frequent experience I was asked by the Practice Manager  why do I keep bothering to make comments and asked what do I hope to achieve ?

Obviously I keep making posts because the same problem keeps recurring. Since I have three appointments at Glenfield Hospital in the next month I will ask them how long I can go without BP medication and, in the absence of such medication, what action I should take. I strongly suspect I know the answer to this but it is hardly common sense for me to attend A& E on a monthly basis simply because I get get my regular prescription.
