Frustrating medical journey with endless phone runaround
I contacted the medical practice over a week ago and spoke with a physician. I was familiar with my condition, trigeminal neuralgia, which I had experienced previously, and requested my usual medication. I was prescribed the drugs and advised to call back if any issues arose. Five days later, I called again, still experiencing pain, and inquired about increasing the dosage, a method I had used before. I was informed that the doctor was unavailable and told to call back the next day. Upon doing so, I was advised to continue the medication and follow up at the week's end for a review. I self-certified for the week and rang on Friday, still in pain. I was told the doctor would be notified, but it would be the following week before I heard anything. When I mentioned a sick note, I was assured it would be handled. On Tuesday, I called to check progress and was informed that the doctor hadn't reviewed the previous notes. I was then told that to obtain a sick note, I would need a face-to-face appointment, which is scheduled in three weeks. When I expressed my need for a sick note, I was instructed to provide my workplace details and was promised the note would be backdated during my future appointment. Frustrated but with no alternatives, I was left wondering why people resort to emergency services. I had initially consulted a doctor by phone, knowing an appointment was at least three weeks away and experiencing significant pain. It seems impossible to win in this situation.

I've encountered no health service more abysmal than this, and it's deeply shameful that they're affiliated with the National Health Service.
