AIBU to think that when consultants send letters to your GP, that they should review them and action them (as in maybe call you in for an appointment or something?)

As it is with my practice, there are 3 doctors. My GP is down as the senior doctor, though the GP I see the most is probably the female GP.

Anyway, today, it turns out, that though I've been cc'd on 2 letters from consultants re changes recommended to my meds etc., they are never read, or certainly never actioned.

Today I went because yet another consultant has referred me back to the GP as I need some general stuff done before they can do the specialist stuff. The GP seemed totally baffled and then annoyed/anxious. Whether she was annoyed at them firing me back at her, or annoyed at herself for not having read the letters or what, I don't know, but she seemed just annoyed is the only word I can think of. She then said she wasn't going to prescribe me anything until she spoke to the medical/clinical registrar (she used different terms). Why was she annoyed? Because it was outside her speciality of general practitioner?

But, AIBU to think that when a consultant sends a letter to your GP that they should at least read and action it? Not just file it onto your file?

Oh and another thing that annoys me (sorry, she's a lovely doctor really), is she keeps remarking 'you have lost weight' whereas in actual fact I've put on 7 kilos!!!!!!!
