I have AF, and as a consequence of the beta blockers have lower blood pressure. I also take rivaroxaban daily and that has lead to occasional side effects.
This has led me to seek reassurance from a medical professional if I feel something isn't right as early intervention could prevent any condition becoming much worse.
I phoned at 17.30, and received a call back at 20.30. {Not a criticism ~i realise hiw busy the service is.) The appointment was scheduled for 2.15am, which was obviously not ideal, but I certainly didnt warant an A&E visit. I couldn't collect my prescription until 10.am.
However, when i attended i was seen within a few minutes. Staff were helpful and pleasant. I was seen and treated really quickly, despite been warned when i received the call back that I 'might be there for hours,
Obviously Saturday evening is likely to be busy, which I fully understand.
I would have appreciated an initial dose of antibiotics/analgesia, but otherwise have ni issues at all with th e service i received.
because i had an appointment booked for 4pm and i didn't get seen untill 7.40pm they only had one doctor on duty and a nurse who left at 6pm the service is ridiculous and they need to learn how to stick to appointment times if i was late to an appointment i wouldn't get seen but it seem's to be acceptable for patients to sit around almost 4 hours after there appointment time to actually be seen
When initially phoned the service at 8pm was told it would be a maximum of 6 hour wait for a phone call from the doctor which the doctor phoned after 7 hours but I got an appointment immediately. Doctor was lovely and listened to me and ensured that I received the best care as my blood pressure was extremely high on one machine so he went and got another machine to double check
