Persistent communication failures caused repeated frustration

I had my medication adjusted to include an additional item on my recurring prescription, but over the last five or six weeks there have been consistent issues. There appears to be a significant breakdown in communication not only between staff and patients, but also within the team itself. It seems that information about my previous calls is not being properly documented or shared, and I've received conflicting accounts of what was discussed. Surely there should be adequate records in place to help clarify what has occurred? I felt compelled to lodge a formal complaint today as I've grown frustrated with the repeated back-and-forth and the considerable time I've had to invest. I've made approximately ten phone calls attempting to resolve matters, yet have been given contradictory information on multiple occasions. Additionally, I experienced a situation where something I said during a phone conversation was misrepresented by a staff member, despite witnesses being present during my initial contact. This was deeply disappointing. While my medication issue has eventually been resolved, I have limited confidence that the underlying problems will be addressed going forward. What should be a straightforward process of collecting weekly medication has become an unnecessarily stressful experience. Each time I need to contact the practice, I feel anxious about potential complications, and I anticipate that further difficulties may arise. I am seriously contemplating registering with a different practice unless there are prompt and meaningful improvements.
