I have been with this surgery just over 2 years and they are hopeless, the main doctor is so ignorant I put a complaint on against him.
I got to see a temporary doctor march and he was wonderful and caring, when talking to him he noticed my voice was a bit hoarse so he sent me for a chest x-ray,
When it returned he got in touch to tell there was something on x-ray so he made another appointment for second x-ray on 1st July, I kept on ringing surgery to ask about results and it was over 3 weeks before they came back, I talked to receptionist and she said I had to wait 4 weeks, in the end I have just had referral on 10th of September 9 weeks after having x-ray from doctor I complained about, the nice doctor has left as he was only temporary.
I am absolutely terrified and cannot sleep and I am sure it is lung cancer, I don't smoke now but did smoke for 30 years and I have mild COPD.
I know lung cancer is one of the worse cancers to have and I don't think this doctor is going to give my any help!!!
I've only found out last week that there is white marks on lung, every time I asked receptionist they said doctor was busy but there was nothing to worry about and it took 9 weeks to get back to me.
I have just today got appointment for X-ray Friday 17th September, do not know when I'll hear from surgery.
This doctor is horrible, there's been loads of complaints against him, is there anyway I can see another doctor if not happy with his reply. I do not mind paying (I have just received my pension so I have a large sum) all my life I wanted to travel but dont think that will happen now and my son has just had the most beautifull daughter ever.
