"Hard to see a doctor"

I'm not one to go see a doctor unless I really can't cope. Had a severe cough on and off for 8 months. In this time went to piling surgery 3 times. Never got seen by the doctor only seen by a nurse. Was given inhalers without being tested for asthma properly. On last visit seen the nurse again ( having requested on phone to see the doctor) on the Thursday and given antibiotics and another inhaler but by Friday night was rushed to hospital by paramedic. Paramedic was fuming that proper checks were not done. Will now being changing doctors.
