Infected wound after appendix surgery

This medical practice is an absolute disaster that deserves to be closed down. After undergoing keyhole appendix surgery, I was instructed to follow up with my GP within two weeks. I endured a 90-minute wait just to reach a hostile and unhelpful receptionist. When I expressed concerns about a potentially infected wound, she coldly informed me that only a nurse would be available for the next fortnight. The following day, I saw the nurse and explained my belly button wound was continuously bleeding and discharging pus, but she casually dismissed my worries as "normal". She briefly cleaned the wound and told me no further action was needed. On the 12th, I awoke with unbearable pain and could actually see my exposed stitches. I called the next morning, waited 50 minutes while being the first caller, only to be told to schedule an appointment for two days later. When I asked about seeing a doctor regarding the potential infection, the receptionist curtly stated I'd have to wait two weeks - then abruptly hung up. Ultimately, I went to Barnet Hospital, where doctors confirmed a serious, days-old infection and were shocked I'd been repeatedly turned away. They emphasized I should have been prescribed antibiotics immediately. This GP practice is dangerously negligent. They demonstrate complete indifference to patient welfare and have consistently provided appalling, potentially harmful medical "care". I strongly advise everyone to stay far away from this clinic.
