"Poor service"

About: The Kiltearn Medical Ctr.

I could not get the response I really needed today from the receptionist. I feel absolutely dreadful. Following “the system” her words I did not warrant a GP apt and would need to wait until next Monday between 2-5 to have a telephone consultation (I am away on a planned break with my son at centre parks then). I explained I have been on my knees since last Tuesday and been off sick from my work. I have zero energy, I am falling asleep eating my tea, on the toilet, etc. my leg remains absolute agony (that’s been agony for well over 9 months. She said have you gone to see the pharmacist about your low energy… I said a pharmacist can’t do bloods. She said I wasn’t a priority. I am furious. I can’t work, I am struggling to function, I said even washing up is a challenge. I am white as a sheet. I explained I have a history of anemia and has treatment for this. She wasn’t bothered.
