"Worst GP practice I have ever been too."

About: Walker Medical Group

Went to see Drs on several occasions complaining of lots of minor things that I knew somehow fitted together and was concerned it was something more serious. The Drs didn't help at all dismissed me and treated me like I was a hypochondriac. They only requested certain tests to keep me quiet, never offered follow up if tests were normal, they didn't like I was a nurse and would challenge them as I knew I was very unwell. Some of the Drs don't even speak, communication is terrible. I felt like I was a bother to them. No understanding from them whatsoever. I was told things like the lump is only in your neck because you are touching it. The Drs never take a proper history. So never get a complete history and when you try and tell them they don't listen. I left this practice and got the courage to visit a new dr. Was immediately without hesitation put on a tww. They were shocked the Drs at walker medical hadn't. I have now learnt I have a rare autoimmune condition or cancer. I'm still under investigation. This GP practice made me think I was depressed or going crazy and imaging all my symptoms. You always get one GP normally at a practice that you wouldn't see but not everyone. The only member of staff that was nice was Gemma the nurse. I will be going to cqc and accessing all medical records to mount a formal complaint. Please go to another practice. It's your life and I would never trust these with mine again. I do wonder if their attitudes would be different if they were not Drs in a socially deprived area. Seem to treat everyone as though they are stupid or time wasters.
