Frustrating healthcare journey with limited support

This is a fantastic medical service... if you're in perfect health and don't actually need it. For those requiring care, it's a different scenario. Booking an appointment is nearly absurd. The online scheduling system is so complex with countless options that it seems an AI is attempting to diagnose you. You might receive a callback, typically from a receptionist evaluating the urgency of your medical needs. After several weeks, you finally consult someone. Despite my knee arthritis, surgery appears impossible because I'm a smoker (which seems unrelated to a knee procedure), a fact bluntly communicated directly to me. Potential treatments like injections are also seemingly off the table, with similar dismissive reasoning. They suggest contacting them and recommending exercise, yet my physical condition contradicts this advice. To manage my job's physical demands, I've become sedentary due to persistent pain that accompanies every movement—walking, climbing stairs, even lying down. A year passed before receiving a follow-up after my MRI, complicated by my GP's departure. Their systems and procedures clearly lack continuity. I wish I could provide a more positive review, but the intense pain leaves me seeking solace only in cigarettes, as I dislike pain medication. My advice: maintain your health.
