"fed up"

About: Silsden & Steeton Medical Practice

After a stroke last year, I had to chase for an aftercare appointment. Doctor who I saw in was unfriendly and dismissive of my concerns. A diagnosis of "pre stage 2 diabetes" referred me to the NHS website, where the advice given was as useful as a chocolate teapot, given that I eat very little of the foodstuffs supposedly at the root of this. I modified my diet anyway. Nurse practitioner was friendly enough, but totally unable to give me any meaningful answers to my questions

The email I received after the latest blood tests simply said another appointment would be made in a years time, and that my pharmacist would notify me of any change to medication for my blood pressure & thickness. No mention of the stage 2 diabetes at all. I suffered a deterioration in my eyesight a few months after the stroke, but I was refused a meeting with a doctor to get a referral to the opthalmology clinic, instead they suggested I contact an optician, which I had already done. Basically, I have no confidence in this surgery at all.
