About: Roseworth Surgery

I registered as a temporary patient with this practice in Newcastle I had registered before with another practice nearer to where I live, so when I came that time ran out, and I came down with a worrying illness Iregistered at a temp patient. I had a diagnosis of pneumonia and was treated for it but it has in the last week come back.I called the surgery and was told I'd been taken off the list. I explained I was entitled to 3 months and ongoing if I needed help. I am now in a relapse, and worried. I also chose this surgery as it as not in my residential area, which is a very rough area. I am registered with a GP where live, far from this one and the GP there gave me antibiotics which helped for a month but I dindn't expect to feel ill again. The current surgery in question told me I should have registered with a surgery near where I live, but many are out of the way and the area is rough. At first I saw a wonder GP who has now left, as I was told today. Another kind DR is on holiday so I was left with a receptionist who was quite harsh towards me. I am in a lot of pain with the infected lung but I felt I didn't matter because I'm an older patient
