"The Waiting in Pain Game"

About: Addison Road Medical Practice

Severe back pain, potentially issue with some organ or muscles.

Contacted the GP on the 1st weekof May and was told the earliest I could be seen would be last week in May. Filled in an online application form - asked to wait two week before the GP could entertain me:-). This is a real game of too many patients and not enough allocated resources. Feel hostage to the practice.

Will make formal complaint.

Currently taking codine as temporary fix - life changing experience to have such pain and be ignored.

Sad state of affairs.
