Those of you that have been following my thread no that I have a lot on my plate at the moment and reluctantly I have started yet another SSRI (paroxetine 20 mg)on the advice of my psychiatrist and though I am only taking half the dose I am experiencing several horrendous side effects.
10 days in I phoned my GP who I found out was away all of last week and the receptionist said she would put me through to another doctor .He refused to speak to me and said I should speak to my own doctor.(he knew she was away)
This is the same doctor who knowing my daughter has very low BP prescribed her propranol for her headache and she passed out in the bathroom.
This is also the same doctor who saw my son a few years ago and diagnosed tonsillitis when he was alone in London and we were living in Spain. my son got really ill and could hardly speak and he managed to phone the practice asking for a doctor to come to his home, three minutes from the practice as he was too weak to walk. The same doctor refused.
My wife sensed the problem,took the first flight home and saw that our son was so dehydrated he was barely conscious. She stormed into the practice and luckily the very same doctor was on duty and she gave him hell. He then called an ambulance and my son was saved by going into hospital for 48 hours with a drip and was diagnosed with Glandular Fever and took a good year to recover.
How can a GP be allowed to practice just giving you these three seperate occasions.
Generally, the doctors though hard pushed, are generally helpful.
