Hi All,
Sorry I couldn't find any better forum so I'm trying in this forum.
I was lucky that I hadn't have to deal with crook GPs in the past so when it happened to me I was just god smacked.
Took my son to the local GP, he gave antibiotic and asked to come back after a week. Went to see him few days back and this all happened.
Firstly he didn't look at his symptoms at all and keep typing on his computer all the time.
Then he wrote that patient is getting better.
When I complained, he just kept murmuring something and didn't listen.
Then I asked to give me in writing that he is not feeling well so that I could show to his school but he refused to give me any notes and [B]asked for money[/B] instead.
Is it a practice to ask for money to give it in writing that patient is sick? Or did he ask for bribery?
Next I asked him to refer me to a specialist for which he said he will pass it to Nurse.
I called surgery to find out the progress with referral to specialist but after 3-4 calls no one gave me any definite answer on what is going on.
Went to Surgery again and they refused to refer to any specialist and they didn?t even bother to reply.
Having lost all hope I decided to visit A&E in nearest hospital, I wasn?t able to get any specialist to look at him but they gave him some medicine.
Even doctors at A&E were surprised at GP?s attitude. They even called the Surgery but no one picked up phone. They also informed that GP should not have asked for money to give a note to me stating that my son is sick.
At the end of all this I just feel like whacking this GP.
I checked out NHS complain system and it seems it is more incompetent that this GP. I read comment?s on NHS website itself and everyone said just stay away from the complain system as it will not help.
Tomorrow I?m going to see a specialist as private patient as I don?t have any insurance.
Could anyone one please let me know what to do with this evil GP? I?m not just going to sit idle and suffer.
