Longfield medical centre fails patient completely
Appalling Lack of Compassion Let me share my shocking experience! Attention Longfield patients: this is crucial information!!! This afternoon, I contacted 111 due to worsening cough and breathing difficulties, struggling to secure an appointment all week. Paramedics arrived within 20 minutes and were incredibly professional, diagnosing me with a severe chest infection. They attempted to contact my GP at Longfield to obtain an antibiotic prescription, but were repeatedly dismissed. The surgery callously hung up multiple times, insisting on sending me to A&E despite the paramedics explaining I simply needed antibiotics and they were still open for nearly two hours. The frustrated paramedics were forced to call 111 and wait for the 6 pm doctor shift to prescribe medication. They were utterly stunned by this treatment and plan to file a formal complaint, as do I. Longfield Medical Centre's complete disregard for patient care is shameful. After donating over 400 hours to their Covid clinic, I am absolutely done! 😡😡 Now I'm waiting for 111's call to get my necessary medication. Fortunately, the compassionate paramedics are reporting this misconduct, and we've contacted our MP to expose the truth. 111 was equally horrified and quickly arranged a prescription at Blackwater's 24/7 pharmacy for antibiotics and steroids. 😀😀 Don't blindly trust Longfield's narrative!
Utterly appalling service from start to finish. I shelled out money for a medical certificate for a firearm permit, and they botched the paperwork completely. I have email evidence where they openly..
