Incompetent doctor nearly cost me my life

I reached out about experiencing a persistent cough and sore throat. Dr. Charles completely dismissed my concerns and showed no empathy. I meticulously detailed my symptoms over the past few days, yet he merely prescribed co-codamol for a viral infection. When I expressed that I frequently fall ill, he callously told me to simply cope with it. That same evening, I ended up in A&E after fainting and striking my head. The emergency staff seemed more focused on my viral infection than my head injury. My vital signs were alarming - an elevated heart rate and significantly high blood pressure. Two days later, they summoned me for additional blood tests. The results revealed a serious blood abnormality, requiring my immediate hospitalization. This entire situation could have been prevented if Dr. Charles had genuinely listened during our initial consultation. He made me feel insignificant and like an inconvenience. I'm not typically someone who writes reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others about potential medical neglect. After being discharged, I was prescribed antibiotics. Unfortunately, I experienced a severe adverse reaction at home and contacted my GP early morning around 8:40 to request medication adjustment. I carefully explained my hospital experience and current condition. I spent the entire day anxiously awaiting their callback, unable to rest or sleep for fear of missing their call. Eventually, they returned my call at 5pm, causing me to miss a crucial antibiotic dose. While I understand GPs manage numerous patients, my situation was urgent and deserved more immediate attention.
