I visited this Walm Lane Surgery on Wednesday 9 January. I was told all GPs ( this is often the case with this surgery where it's impossible to get to see the same GP at short notice) I normally see were fully booked. One appointment was available with a GP I had seen before 2 weeks before and not being very impressed with.
I saw him because I had a chest infection but last week I visited as I have what it seemed dermatitis around my left eye. He remembered of me and asked how I was. I explained I was better but I was there for an eye problem. He looked at my eye and told me
I was having an allergic reaction to contact lenses solutions or make-p. I explained I had not worn any make-up or contact lenses for two weeks so that this was unlikely to be the case.
He insisted I must be allergic to something and prescribed antihistamine drops a hydrocortisone cream. I told him I suffer from non allergic dermatitis and on hearing this he said: “They should put a Fragile label on you and wrap you on cotton wool with all the problems you have". I was appalled and hurt to hear he found acceptable to joke on my health problems. I was also totally frustrated as he did not listen to what I told him and prescribed unhelpful medications to people suffering from Dermatitis.
My eye problem is still pretty bad!
