Having the most frustrating morning, which with pregnancy hormones has resulted in half an hour of solid crying.
Supply of thyroid meds runs out tomorrow (this is the first time I've had them, because pregnancy) - antenatal team at hospital said when I first got them from obstetrician that I'd need to renew with normal GP surgery. Contacted GP surgery 8am Monday with the request, well ahead of the 2 working days they state. Nothing. Called yesterday afternoon, they hadn't even noticed my request so booked appointment with clinical pharmacist 8am this morning to discuss. No phone call. Call them at 8.45am wondering what's happened. "The pharmacist has contacted the hospital to confirm your request, I don't know when she'll call you. But 8am doesn't mean 8am anyway, it could be within an hour or so of that". I point out that I was told 8am, perhaps next time they can just say morning, but it might have been nice for the phone appointment to have been kept even if it was to tell me about this update "we don't do that, you just have to wait". I flag that I now only have 1 dose left "yes we know that, if you want to you can contact antenatal to tell them to make sure they give our pharmacist the information she needs soon". Right.
How can they be this disorganised and the system be so disjointed. And how dare they imply that it's my misunderstanding and impatience that's the problem rather than acknowledging they let this one fall through the cracks and perhaps I have reason to chase them.
Logically I know it'll be sorted - worst comes to worst I have a blood test at the hospital tomorrow and can just ask for them to issue the prescription since the GP is crap, but the obstetrician's words of "we have to make sure your thyroid levels are stable otherwise it puts the baby at risk" plus hormones have resulted in a really shitty tearful morning.
