every time i goto hospital and i am asked why didnt i see a doctor as soon as i mention peel house they roll their eyes and say oh i see

the doctors apart from 1 of them are great its just that you cant see them

i know of 1 person who turned up in the middle of having an asthma attack and was told he coulldnt have an appointment for at least 3 weeks as they were booked up and was sent away and colloapsed outside

the system has now changed but not realy for the better as all the appointments get taken up by those waiting outside in the morning and within 10 mins of the phonelines opening all appointmernts are gone

not everyone can get there early in the morning and wait outside

another thing wrong is that you cant order perscriptions over the phone anymore so now to get your stuff you have to walk down , fill a slip in then return in 2-3 days and hope its been done or take up an appointment slot just to get a prescription

again not everyone is good at walking and not everyone has time to waste making multiple visits for much needed things like asthma sparys etc

however..

a select few are given the privalage of been able to book appointments when ever they like and with their own doctor which should be the right of anyone under a doctor

i wish i could get to see my own doctor as i have now seen 4 different doctors with my problem and each time i have to explain it all over again and its as though i am starting fresh with treatment when infact i should have been seeing a specialist which i am now been refered to at long last

peel houses current system will kill somone one day
