I eventualy got a good doctor who i thought was actually helping me with my condition after a number of wrong diagonses. The doctor got me in, gave me treatment, called me in.
I said it was all good at the moment, the doctor said this was excellent but any trouble and I could phone back.
Then a wk later my sypmtoms came back. I phoned the doctor and they said they were going on holiday in 3 days and I was to get another doctor. I was surprised and disappointed, they seemed to be so helpful but it now seemed that because they were going on holiday they didn't care??
So then i go to the walk in clinic at Lerwick sit for 2 hours, my time is very precious as i work 3 jobs, so to sit there for 2 hours then get told they would phone me and they havnt is very annoying. So i sat for 2 hours, saw a different doctor, they aid they would phone me bk but that was a wk ago and still no call. So in the meantime I'm sat with my symptoms in pain.
It's not acceptable. I am going away on holiday and was hoping the health system up here could help me.
