Dr's or Gp's The NHS is really falling apart since I left.

I have tried to book a medication review. It is a bit of a joke but I need the rx to function and not to be a jellyfish on my bed.

So I have phoned, ( over 100 plus in a que so disconnected )

I have emailed .. yeah awaiting a reply.

I tried to book using the booking online service. Nope.. no reply.

I have only a few days left of RX and this will be very interesting. I don't know the last time I seen my GP which in itself is funny. The service has shot down hill dramatically since I have left working for the NHS. Argh.

Well back to phoning some more. This S.......t takes up way too much of my time. And I am getting annoyed as playing with someone's health is no joke! I can see people becoming very irate and angry towards the lack of care provided.

I have never had a satisfactory experience with the NHS. I have never seen the same GP twice. I grew up in a small town in the African bush veld and had the same doctor for 20 years and an excellent service. It was private, not expensive, but reliable.

I have to say that when I first arrived here I had the same GP who also was a work colleague and friend. He was always there and I always had an appointment when I needed one. The practice was GREAT back then with no real complaints... Yes I know some still moaned but you wont please everyone.

Then little by little doctors retired and that included mine. The new owner and practice manager were well hmmmm more like other practices I have had to work with or cover their work.... I wont go into details.

Anyway Money and Greed and Laziness are key here. I can say that when they switched from the old Adastra system for patients records to a joint NHS national system... things went pear shape. Doctors who were sticking till the end gave up. And no new doctors taken their places. The ones who did are mainly greedy and treating it as a business for profit... Huge profits... to the point where some have been arrested and struck off around here.... So yeah.. I can give a tonne of insight into this.. but Dang I am fed up.
