Re: The n.h.s.
Yup, same boat here. Failures in every direction.
Never met or unable to see my pretend "G.P." in Ossy. No baseline status established to compare ongoing changes to. Nothing. An Admin Assistant to sign off my Prescriptions. Almost useless.
I've been once to their Surgery. The place is deserted and the Phone never rang. I could see the Consultant Receptionists who know everything were sat doing nothing. When I ring the Surgery they make out they're rushed off their feet and keep me on hold for an average of 40 minutes. Mysteriously, the person I need to speak to is never there.
Despite their new website & platitudes. They have demonstrated their disinterest in seeing any actual Patients.
Physio (Emergency LOL) was requested by a Guesser (some folk call these always wrong people "Doctors") at Blackburn Teaching goodness knows what Hospital last AUGUST. This has NEVER happened.
My wheelchair wore out & needed repairs. Some genius at Specialist Mobility Rehabilitation Centre sent me a wholly unsuitable, extremely uncomfortable chair that ensures my spinal subluxation & constant pain. Without any "Assessment". These clowns wanted me to do an assessment OVER THE PHONE. FOR A WHEELCHAIR!!!! Think about that for a minute.
I call, eventually they send me a random, unsuitable chair again. Their new Contactors weren't even going to take my old chair away. They must think I'm starting a scrap yard for used wheelchairs. I persuaded the extremely unskilled delivery driver to take it. Not his fault, he just drives a van to drop boxes off. How on earth would he know?
Now it seems, the new N.H.S. policy is to do everything badly enough to warrant a sell off off of what's left.
There are many other petty failures & demonstrations of incompetence. I'll stop here, I'm not writing a novel.
