I have quite severe anxiety. It's usually well controlled with medication. When my anxiety is bad, I cannot use the telephone. This is well-documented.
When my anxiety flared badly in October, the doctors asked me to make an appointment, but wouldn't give me one in any way other than on the phone. By the time I've got the confidence to use the phone, the appointments are gone. They have to be booked on the day.
I faxed today and asked for an appointment on Friday. Explained that it's the only day I have transport, that I've run out meds and really need them, and asked for a specific doctor who I can talk too despite my anxiety. They left me a voicemail confirming an appt for Friday.
Then they called again to say that they'd made a mistake and its a telephone appt with the wrong doctor, so I can't have anything prescribed. To get an appt on Friday, I have to call on Friday morning. I am "making life difficult" not being able to use a phone.
I submitted a repeat prescription form online to get my meds instead. They have declined it, I need to see the doctor first.
I can't get there on my own. I have to plan to have someone take me. I need my meds. I can't call.
Is it me?!
I've tried writing before but they ignore me.
