I got pneumonia, and spent a week in hospital very poorly. When I got discharged I was told to ring my doctors about being signed off for a few weeks and any additional support I may need.
When I rung and explained the receptionist said “and” the doctor is too busy to talk to you until Tuesday next week. This would be 4 days following my discharge. But they could do me a sick note without even talking to me. I was told I’d receive this but didn’t and ended up having to ring the following week to chase where it was. When this poorly you expect a bit more care from your gp, to see how you are, make sure you have everything you need for recovery and show some diligence. The nhs these days is disgusting and completely lost any care for their patients.
I was made out I was asking for to much just to speak to my gp, it’s not like I had a common cold, I spend a week on hospital with pneumonia for Christ sake!!!!
