Telephone consult regarding blood pressure.
I visited my GP approximately two months ago, had my blood pressure checked. I was prescribed some medication for this. I was also concerned the medication was not having an effect as my BP still seemed to high, but I wasn’t able to raise this.
I submitted BP readings as I needed to have prescription provided if I was to continue on the same medication.
It became apparent that my notes had not been read prior to calling me, as I was told to continue taking the prescribed medication. I had the impression they just wanted to end the call. I had to hurriedly explain I was almost out of medication and would need to have another prescription. I was told to attend reception and request a prescription. I asked if them if they could supply the prescription. It was at this point it was obvious they had not read my notes, when I was asked how do I normally get the repeat prescription? This was the first time I had needed a repeat prescription.
It was a hurried consultation and it felt as if they just wanted to end the call as quickly as possible.
