After the closure of my surgery I visited this surgery two weeks ago and had blood test done. Having not heard from the practice about my blood test result I went into the surgery yesterday and was told by the receptionist that in my notes action has been taken - she then offered me a printout of the result of the blood test telling me that there is pre diabetes in my result - I told her i needed to see a doctor urgently so that the results of the blood test could be explained fully. I was told I would have to wait for two weeks.
I insisted that this was a matter of urgency. She then said there were others waiting to be seen - after a few minutes she told me to return at 17:10 that day. I returned and saw the doctor and she asked me if I received a letter from the surgery as my notes indicated that someone had written comments. I told her
I had not receive a letter hence me attending the surgery to ask about the result. The doctor explained about the pre diabetes and she also indicated that my cholesterol level was low and I needed to stop taking the medication for six months. I was prescribed "Atrovastatin" by the hospital in February because I had a TIA. Had I not seen a doctor I would have continued taking the above medication with serious outcome.
