Unable to see or speak to a doctor,
I realise the National Health Centre is under of lot of pressure but I am sure you also understand the frustration I and many others are feeling at the inability to speak to a health professional. On Saturday evening I was very ill, i vomited every 40 mins for well over 14 hours. i phoned 111 and they wanted me to go to hospital but could only send a taxi. I was too ill to contemplate this. There were no ambulances available so they sent an ambulance responder. he suggested that I speak to my GP on Monday. I phoned yesterday and was fortunate to receive a call back from a nurse practitioner. She said that If I had not improved then I would need a face to face appointment and that she would send a prescription for the sickness. i did not receive a prescription. I phoned today as I am still in pain. I was told there was no prescription for me and that a face to face was not requested on my notes. As always, I was told to ring again tomorrow. What do you advise? I honestly do not know how to see a GP. This is not the first time I have had these symptoms, it is the third.
