"House calls patient that has Bipolar disorder &..."

About: The Mandeville Practice

I tried to arrange a house call for a 68 year old lady that is on her own & suffers with Bipolar disorder, And has suspected Pneumonia & is unable to speak dew to other medical reasons. We tried to arrange a house call by phoning in & was told to go to the chemist & ask them what to take. The Pharmacist stated as they know her well They answer was to phone back to the surgery to arrange a Doctors call out. This was not possible as voice Box problem which is under going medical treatment @ the moment. I called the surgery as I have power of Authority on file @ the surgery under my name, I phone the surgery & was asked to chose an option (1) Highly trained Receptionist (2) Securities or just hold on. I choose option (2) was held on line for a short time then a computerized message said not available @ this moment, was told by the computerized message to ring back. I phoned back & choose option (1) Highly trained Receptionist. I had great difficulty to (NASWESA) I had great deal of difficulty getting her understanding the problem. I was asked to hold on 3 times while she spoke to someone about the problem even explaining the problem more then 3 times. I was told that the doctor would have to speak to the patient, I kept repeating my statement at lest 3/4 times about the patient was unable to talk. & finely got them to get the Doctor to talk to me I gave her my Mobil No and explained that was the best No to call me on as wherever I am it will divert by Wi-Fi to a land line or Car phone if I am in a car. I also gave her my home No as well, she did not understand the Wi-Fi technology. In all a very bad experience, which has been reflected in my survey "Q" answers

We are extremely concerned by your comments and would be grateful if you could contact the surgery at some point in order to discuss this matter further. It is difficult to comment on specific patients on such an open forum but we would be eager to look into your concerns a soon as possible.

Please ask for the complaints manager for Mandeville; Mr Chambis Georgiou.
