"Why do we all pay for these services"

Anything else?

I went to Warminster hospital yesterday with a reccuring lung infection that i get roughly annualy. From previous visits i was not expecting for anyone to try and find out why this happens but the usual temp, blood pressure and oxygen level tests before being fobbed off with more amoxycilin. However this time they really raised the bar. After confussion due to my registered practice closing down 2 years ago (god bless u NHS). I was ushered in to see the duty gp. After refusing any antibiotics because in their words "theres too much in the press about GP's treating everything with antibiotics". I appreciate this may be a problem however surely when its necessary, its necessary. Granted i am not qualified to decide this however every other doctor i have seen inthe previous years are.

After being refused any treatment i was told if it is still the same tomorrow then come back. So effectively i was told i could have antibiotics if i endure one night of no sleep and agony. I can't believe thats standard practice.

I have logged a complaint through the official complaints service however after reading some comments on this website i am less that hopeful of a reply. Just to be clear i do not write this to demand compensation but to make people aware that this happens.

Appologies for the rant, not had a lot of sleep
