I have seen a real decline in the care and help from this surgery. I have been with Bersted Green for 4 years and suffer with recurrent bladder infections. I called have called at 8am on numerous occasions with this issue and the receptionist has no care and just tells me to bring a sample in everytime. I would not mind however I would like a long term solution to this recurrent issue, not just a quick fix of antibiotics for it to come back the following month. Bladder infections are painful and uncomfortable at the best of times and the staff have no care in the world about essentially just saying that I am not eligable to see a doctor. If the receptionists would treat each person/case with understandiing and use their own initiative to decide whether I need a doctor or not this would not be an issue however they take it upon themselves to tell people with possible infections to bring in a sample and live with it until they get antibiotics and it is not good enough. I am curious to know the medical backgound of these receptionists as they seem to take it upon themselves to diagnose issues as such and decide what is best for you. I know my body and I know that I need to see a doctor however this service seems unacessable to people like me.
