I rang 111 at 11am, I then spoke to a doctor over the phone in which she stated I needed to see a doctor. Due to my GP not having any appointments she explained to ring 111 back up to book an appointment at 6:30.
I rang again and they kept saying they would ring me back. At 10pm I finally spoke to a clinician who said I would need to see a doctor. Then said they would call me back again. They rang me and explained that I needed to go MEDOC and the waiting time was not going to be bad. I was in the waiting room for 2 hours. The room was dirty and people had been waiting a lot longer than I had. When I asked the receptionist how many people were in front of me she said 5. But in the last 2 hours only 5 had gone in!!! The doctors kept talking to the receptionist for at least 10 minutes after each patient. I decided to go home and when asked if I was still in pain in which I replied that it was worse the receptionist said try 111 again tomorrow?!
This is appalling! I’m disgusted and angry. Will not be coming here again! I’d rather be in pain!
"Awful"
