Pathetic full stop
Over the last 6 months I have had the need to visit a doctor twice as I an a fit , tolerable person and just get on with things , now the first time I wished to see Dr Sowden over a personal matter as I felt I wanted to discuss my problem with him . I was told by the male receptionist I had to ring first thing in the morning to get an appointment 48 hours later but only on certain days . Now anyone who has tried calling this shambles will understand that 30 minutes of your life will have gone and you still wont get the time you want, so I never went . The 2nd time was Tuesday the 8th of November , I had felt ill for days and now could not breath due to chest pain, I work directly behind the surgery so walked across out of breath into an empty waiting area and the same obnoxious receptionist behind the counter. I asked if I could please see a doctor as I could not get my breath and felt terrible , he said our first appointment is Tuesday the 22nd , To which I said "what f*****g good is that and left, I went home to bed at which point my wife rang the surgery and stated her concern for my health . They said a doctor would call me back . Well its now 16.45 on the 10th of November and guess what ? Correct no callback!!! Just to make this clear I think that this surgery is not fit to be providing heathcare to the Sowerby Bridge public
