GP surgery rang. I was teaching so had to ring back. Took ages but eventually reception answered.

It seems GP doesn’t feel the need to speak to me. Receptionist aka untrained triage said I have to speak to in-house pharmacy. What for ? Who knows. When? Sometime next week.

Meanwhile sns is still shocking. No reply yet after several emails to Clinical Nurse Specialist. CNS. ONe point of contact. Patient support as if. but, Dipstick has offered to see me privately. Insurance will not pay

.

No reply from DR Nephrology either re blood pressure medication. Not surprising that BP is up and rising!

No idea what’s happening re MRI. Guess Dipstick not really interested. Why don’t MDT meetings send details to the patient? I realise patients do not go to MDTs but I hope someone somewhere advocates for the patient? so we go for MRI as instructed by text and Eric the computer spits out reminders. Then we go home and hear nothing again. Its a bit odd.

Dentistry has broken and so after £1000+ now referral to a more expensive dentist for more expensive solutions.

NHS work on panel interviews is exhausting and nerve-wracking . One patient rep causing me tension. I try to cover up. Not sure that is actually helping! Passive aggressive is my default. Why do people send long wordy emails and then immediately switch on out of office? frustrating. Start a conversation but do not reply to the comments. Then another person hits reply all to say something totally irrelevant to everyone on the list.

However, it is raining which means the garden might grow. Always a positive somewhere.
