I spent half yesterday trying to navigate the GP and hospital system post covid. I desperately need a change of medication which can only be done by a consultant and I can't see a consultant until the end of October . A simple email from GP to consultant would settle the issue but that is not possible apparently . Life is very complicated these days...
Meg, in circumstances like that I would contact your doctor , or your consultant, and ask who would be responsible for the deterioration in your health, if you cannot get the medication sooner?
When I did that my doctor said, "I suppose that would be me".......... and she did prescribe the meds I needed!
Give it a try, via your consultants secretary, & ask for a written reply as to why you can't see him till October when the change of medicine seems urgent.
I know you never make a fuss and deal with things yourself, but doctors are responsible for the care of their patient
