I had an appointment with the Heart Failure consultant 2 weeks ago. He dropped one of my meds, replacing it with another that is relatively new but has better outcomes.
I was prescribed it for 2 weeks with BP and blood tests at the end of the period to check tolerance and then up the dosage by 50%. I had organised the test myself and had a phone consultation with the quack yesterday to confirm if all was ok and get new prescription.
After a bit of questioning, she confirmed all was OK with my results BUT she had never heard of this drug and would have to go away and read-up about it before prescribing it to me!
Later in the day I went roud to the surgery to see where things were up to. Reception tells me that if I only ordered it that morning it wouldn't be available till Friday. NO! explained what had gone on. She phoned round then said it was done but still in with the quack, come back at 6pm. Another no, and she reluctantly went in and got the script.
They don't make life easy!
