Dangerous medical incompetence threatens patient safety

The incompetence of this medical practice knows no limits. Nearly every interaction is a nightmare, from withholding my father's diabetic medication until he completed an unmentioned blood test, to incorrectly recording my mother's date of death, which led to a distressing call from the Coroner during our mourning period. This is merely a glimpse of their ongoing issues, which include restrictive communication hours and chronic appointment unavailability. My patience has finally reached its breaking point. A few weeks ago, I received a text instructing me to book a routine blood test. After scheduling and attending, I was informed that the doctor's surgery hadn't submitted the necessary paperwork. Upon calling the surgery, they denied requesting the test, dismissing my text message as "a mistake". Anticipating potential problems, I proceeded to order my medication, which was fortunate as I only had 5 tablets remaining. Predictably, last night I received another text demanding a blood test before I can collect my medication. Since the surgery is closed today, I'm now unable to take any action until Monday, by which time I'll be critically low on essential medication. This situation is completely unacceptable and potentially dangerous.
