Disaster . Skip at all cost

I went to star line GP and asked for a scan referral because I had very severe abdominal pain. The pain happens around 1–2 times a month, sometimes more often. I asked them in writing around 8 times to arrange a scan referral, and also me and my wife called many times and came to reception to ask the doctors ourselves, but they ignored us. They sent me for blood tests 4 times because he also had high blood pressure. They said that his blood, urine, and stool tests were normal, but we continued asking for a scan referral because my stomach pain was very severe. They ignored us and kept saying that the tests were normal and that they could not give a referral for a scan. Then after 4 months they offered a gastroscopy, but it is very difficult for him to do, and we asked them to give him a scan instead because he would not be able to go through that procedure due to his gag reflex. But again they ignored us. I went to Hungary a week ago, and when they did blood and urine tests there, they were shocked by the results and said that I urgently needs to be referred to the pathology department. I was shocked by the results as well because I had been repeatedly told in England that everything was fine. Only after I wrote a formal complaint following the shocking results from Hungary, they replied asking why we did not go to A&E if the pain was so severe. They also said that they are not specialists and are just a practice. But before the complaint, nobody told us to go to A&E. We trusted what they were telling us because they kept saying that the blood, urine, and stool tests were normal. And I am very angry because they treated this negligently, and I want to write a complaint. I have all the evidence showing how many times I wrote to them asking for a scan because of the severe pain, and that’s not even including how many times we spoke by phone, directly with doctors, and at reception — almost 30 times. I wish I could add photos as proof
