"Medication review"

About: Northdown Surgery

So I done an econsult for my medication review, dr rang me 2 hours after my appointment time and it was obvious she hadn’t even read my notes as just put it down to anxiety and depression when I was out on those certain tablets for a different reason. Anyway said Dr wanted to re-refer me back to the Beacon to which I declined and said absolutely not as in the last year I’ve been passed from pillar to post going from the GP to the Beacon and so on the Beacon don’t care and it shows, but then neither does my GP any who I was told said Dr would book me in with one of the mental health nurses all well and good accept the mental health nurses only work once a week and if you’ve already seen one you have to see the same one which I’ve never heard of and think is just ridiculous. And that said Dr would speak to another Dr and come up with a plan on what to do and find out where else they can refer me to for help rang last Monday to find out what was happening as I hadn’t heard anything to be told by the receptionist oh yeh ill speak to said Dr which won’t be till the afternoon and see what she advises and ill give you a call back never received the call back and still a week later I haven’t heard nothing. The nhs is going to downhill especially for mental health once you have a specific diagnosis of bpd you get labelled and no one wants to help let alone do anything, I’ve also told multiple health care professionals that I think I could also be bipolar as I have traits of it and I just get laughed at for it so at this rate I think it’s time to go private as it’s the only way I’m going to get the help I need and want
