Bad service

I am writing a review on behalf of my mum and dad who are patients of this doctors surgery. My mum and dad are both in their eighties and both have lung problems and underlying health problems. They have been unwell over three weeks now and have had telephone appointments with doctors but not one face to face appointment. The doctor has not been to see my parents. They have just been diagnosed over the telephone yet again. Last year we almost lost my mum when she ended up in hospital as she was so poorly. Again because she had been diagnosed over the telephone numerous times. This failed to diagnose her pneumonia and sepsis. When will they learn that older people do not bother doctors unless they are poorly and need to be seen face to face by a doctor to properly diagnose them. My mum is still in pain and has been given antibiotics that give her a reaction and has been told to double her pain killers which again is not good for her. My dad is breathless and coughing so much he was almost sick and is still on antibiotics. Again how can you diagnose over the telephone. Both are fed up and do not want to bother the doctor because they feel there is no point and i somewhat agree with them and because they are poorly they cannot find the strength to do it. There is no point because all they get offered is flaming telephone appointments what is the point. i wanted to ring up and complain but my dad does not want me to upset the apple cart so to speak. I am upset and worry that i could lose them because they are not getting the correct care they deserve.
