I went to my GP on Friday just gone. I lost 2 of my senses 2 years ago following a head injury so I asked him to refer me to a specialist. he said to me why have you never been to see me about this before now. I pointed out that I went to him a few days after it happened (2 years ago) and he said I was in shock. so I went away.
6 months ago I went back to see if there is anything that could be done as I was still without my senses. my GP said he believed it was permanent but could refer me to a specialist. as he was pretty adamant the damage was permanent I didn't request an appointment with a specialist.
so after being made to feel suitably guilty by two colleagues for not following up on Friday I went back to my GP to ask to be referred so I know for certain if the damage is permanent or not. I had a 25minute wait for the GP which I was ok with as I wasn't at work however it would have been nice for the receptionist to acknowledge there would be a wait. the GP wasn't even in the building.
so on Friday my GP said I had not told him of the loss of two sense previously which I did both times. he also accused me of being drunk when the accident happened which I most certainly wasn't. his words were you was drunk wasn't you. I then find out that the hospital who treated me after my accident recorded the incident as fainting. when I was in fact unconcious for 2 hours, with a head fracture, nose bleed and sickness.
I was offended that the GP accused me of being drunk, I felt like I was being judged. I am also shocked that the hospital didn't do any tests on me when I was admitted. I had a fracture to the head which resulted in an injury to my brain.
I'm not going to submit a complaint as nothing will come of it I guess I would like to know if I am right to feel annoyed about the service I received.
