So today I had to go back and see the slightly less annoying doctor. I had gone to visit the doctor in the first place back in July to see if I could get any help with anxiety and depression after my Keef had died in February. The really annoying doctor, whom I’m going to put in a complaint about, didn’t listen to anything I said and wrote done fictitious nonsense on my patient thingy about me coughing all of the time and having dizzy spells (I had said that very occasionally I had a tickly throat when I got hay fever). Okay I was hot, pink and very overweight when I saw her, but she decided because I was over a certain age I had lots of things wrong with me. To cut a long story short and after blood tests and x-ray she decided I was diabetic and had a heart problem. Flash forward to October and I have lost lots of weight, due to diet and exercise, had to convince them that I should have another blood test to do with the diabetes, but now ignoring mental health problems and still going on about my heart!! As if I haven’t got enough to deal with she has now increased my anxiety ten-fold. Sorry about the rant but what I thought was going to be a 10 minute visit to the doctors this morning ended up being about an hour, a lot of which was waiting around. My surgery is actually in Special Measures so my theory is that they want to appear to be doing things for people! Anyway, I have come to the decision to try and change to the excellent surgery where both my sister and mother go.
