Sorry for the essay i am rubbish at writing things!
I am 25 weeks PG and currently off work with really nasty headaches. My Gp surgery have a system where if you need a sick note you phone in and ask for one and the doctor will call you a few days later and issue a backdated sick note to be collected from reception. As my sick note ran out yesterday I called in to ask for it to be renewed and was told My Gp would call me back today, I asked to speak to a different gp as I feel my Gp is really unprofessional because: a) When I went to register my pregnancy (was also the first time I met this doctor as my old one has retired) she looked down her nose at me and asked me if i was having an abortion. When i said no she then asked me if i knew who the father was, did the father know and was I in a stable enough relationship with the father to cope with a baby!! (I have been with DP for nearly two years and we are currently buying our first home)
b) when I was about 9 weeks PG I was suffering with really bad sickness and stomach pains and had not kept any fluid down for 3 days. I went back to the doctors and she told me it was just a side effect of pregnancy and it was just one of those things I had to deal with (saw a different doctor two days later who said it sounded like HG and gave me medication which really helped) she also did a urine test and said it looked fine but she would send it off to the lab to make sure there was no infection and did I want to try anti biotics anyway whist waiting for the results? (results came back fine so there would have been no need for them!)
c) when I called in last Monday I was told she would call me back the next morning. I waited til 1.30pm, still no phone call so phoned called reception to be told it could be anytime up until 8 pm. waited til 8 pm and still no phone call and reception was closed by this time so I could not call in. phoned in the next morning to be told she tried to call twice and there was no answer ( I had my phone in front of me on loud all day and it did not ring once!) anyway I eventually spoke to her on the Thursday evening and she said there's nothing more she can do apart from tell me to rest and told me she would leave a sick note by the desk and to call to renew on Monday.
So I called yesterday and asked to speak to a different gp as I do not wish to see my one again and was told this was fine and someone would call me this afternoon to discuss. just received a call from someone at the practice who is not even a gp to be told my own gp has put a note on my file to say I need to see her before any more sick notes are issued by any doctors and they have booked me in for an 'emergency' appointment to see her on Friday. I said I was more than happy to go in as I have been struggling to get an appointment but due to the reasons above I would like to see a different doctor and do not wish to see my gp again. The lady on the phone said that this was not possible and if I wanted to see a doctor I Had to see my own gp as she has requested it. AIBU to not want to see this woman? I have seen other doctors since seeing her and it was a different doctor who originally signed me off for the headache issue.
