Killamarsh Medical Practice

Not taken seriously

I suffer chronic pain, ADHD and probable Autism I have a family history of fibromyalgia. I used alcohol to cope which led to problems later in life, but I have spent many years addressing this with mixed success through DRP. I find it very difficult to communicate in appts. under pressure and feel like I am not being understood or taken seriously. I was treated like drug addict was refused pain medication. Was put on antidepressants without understanding why. GP seems to wants nothing to do with my care, was not interested in following up on requests from ADHD consultant request for tests, shows no compassion despite copious notes documenting my mental health struggles. Directly accused me of not caring about killing other people when I expressed disappointment about my license being withheld 2 years longer than my disqualification despite me meeting criteria wrt controlled drinking/abstinence, clear blood tests & satisfactory medical exam. Revealed clear prejudice towards me due to my past struggle with alcohol, and not my success during the past few years of recovery. Rest of practice are excellent reception are brilliant, nurses are brilliant (eg when taking bloods) healthcare clinicians brilliant ( a) Investigatory work into blood condition and b) herniated disc)
