"lack of information , regarding patient care"

About: Bluebell Medical Centre

having visited a practice nurse , and then later that evening had an ECG ,I was seen by a doctor and advised to go directly to hospital , I was kept in overnight and the following morning told I had AF and given blood thinning tablets, a week later after feeling ill I again was sent to hospital , this time diagnosed with fluid on the lungs and given water tablets, and advised I was to have a heart scan , two weeks later I did so, I waited two weeks for the results ,Nothing ! , contacted the doctor once more and advised the results showed a leaking heart valve , and he would write to the hospital , but keep taking the meds. 3 weeks on still no info from the practice or the hospital , called into the chemist for my meds and advised water tablets were not on the prescription? . they called the surgery , no reply from them. I will call to speak with someone on Monday lets hope this gets resolved. Question is are the meds for AF , or should I be taking something else , or neither .
