"Phone consultation by GP"

About: Stuart Crescent Medical Practice

(as a service user),

In short, it is about GP services. I have had blood pressure problems for more than 15 years. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have not been able to be consulted by a GP at the treatment of blood pressure or physically consulted in this matter. I have asked many times to be sent to a cardiologist and to have a proper consultation done by a cardiologist doctor, when it about hypertension. 

I received countless refusals to be consulted by at least one doctor from the GP. Unfortunately, my problems with hypertension continue. And the GPs are constantly changing the treatment over the phone. It's very frustrating for me to get here. You can only be consulted by a doctor by phone. Which is an aberration. It is against everything I have learned and I know it is done by a doctor. 

In the last month, I called countless times and prayed, I begged to be consulted by a doctor, not by phone. In the end, they made an appointment with a doctor from the GP. I also received the phone message reminding me not to forget about the appointment with that doctor.

I went there at the appointed time. I was invited to the office by the doctor. But the doctor came out and I stayed with the nurse. I thought that nurse would take my blood pressure and then the doctor would come back to talk to you.

But, to my surprise, the nurse did not take my blood pressure, instead she started asking me:

1. How do I feel?

2. What if I have an allergy to something?

At that moment, I became very careful and asked what these questions were for?

The very serene and confident nurse told me that I will receive the flu vaccine and the one for Covid !(I wanna mention here that I had my Covid Vaccine in July 2021)

My dear readers, the next second I got up from my chair and asked to call the doctor to give me an explanation. 

The doctor came, but he was very indignant at the refusal of the vaccines.

I answered like this:

I came here to the clinic today because I have a consultation with my doctor for my hypertension and to talk about treatment.

Very intrigued because I refused any vaccine, the doctor told me that I was not called for consultation, but I was scheduled for vaccination. He finally gave me a prescription by which he doubled one of the pills for hypertension, with a very short explanation, after which I was invited out of the office.

My dear readers, we live in times we have never lived in our lives.

The conclusion of my story:

The best doctor is only yourself.

Do not have any expectations from anyone but you.

London 2021, taxpayer, to no longer be able to be consulted by a doctor physical and mental, only to hear him on the phone. 

Science fiction movie script ???

Unfortunately no, it's a reality.
