Never seen the same doctor twice

I've spent my entire life in this community. Over the past few years, I've been unable to see the same physician on consecutive visits. The medical care provided to our town is utterly appalling. A doctor I've never encountered before recently revoked my ongoing medication prescription. I suffer from severely damaged lower back discs and a ruptured hip joint, which forced me to take eight months away from work during my surgical treatment. I received spinal injections and was even offered surgery given the severity of my condition. Now an unfamiliar doctor is pushing me to switch to an untried medication and discontinue the drug that has successfully controlled my pain and allowed me to remain employed. I plan to lodge a formal grievance against this doctor and escalate my concerns about the entire practice to the relevant regulatory bodies. Subsequently, I received a message from this GP stating he couldn't proceed with his original prescription after discovering it would have dangerously interacted with my current medication. Did he truly exercise proper care and diligence in his role? Surely he should have reviewed my medical history before suggesting any new drugs? A dreadful establishment.
