Endless Wait, No Help with Serious Illness

The service at this medical practice is absolutely unacceptable. Getting a consultation with a doctor requires endless waiting, and even a phone appointment seems impossible. The reception staff are incredibly unhelpful, forcing patients to call at 8am, endure a 30-minute queue, only to be told to try again later. It's a complete farce. I've never encountered a medical practice that operates so poorly. They offer no emergency telephone consultations, making it dangerous for anyone who is unwell. I've had two terrible experiences personally. As an asthmatic, I struggled to get my inhaler prescription renewed. When my condition escalated to a chest infection, I was forced to wait six days before receiving antibiotics. My current situation is even worse. I've been suffering from a highly contagious NovaVirus stomach bug for a week. The practice has provided zero assistance, and no doctor has even bothered to call and advise me on treatment. I'm experiencing intense pain, constant sickness, and vomiting - even water doesn't stay down. I feel like I'm at death's door. I even called 999, who told me this wasn't an emergency and to wait for my doctor. The treatment of sick patients here is absolutely disgraceful.
