Terrible healthcare nightmare at local medical practice

Absolute nightmare of a medical practice in Stoke. They misplaced my referral three times, and the receptionists are completely clueless - I had to contact two hospitals just to discover they should already know these details. The stress was so overwhelming it triggered a mental breakdown. When I finally saw a doctor, his response was dismissive: "What do you want me to do?" He refused to prescribe my consultant-recommended medication, forcing me to complain and chase up the hospital. One day, after trying to locate my urgent referral for 5 months, I spent 4 hours on hold receiving incorrect guidance, which meant constant callbacks. I've emailed the surgery's manager, Scott, twice and received zero response - likely because he's related to someone and lacks proper management experience. They have numerous receptionists who seem completely incompetent, with many leaving in January. I've since found an incredible new surgery. With 14,000 patients, they're critically understaffed, and appear reluctant to prescribe expensive medications due to budget constraints. Their waiting room looks like it hasn't been updated in 15-20 years. Parkinson was exceptional, and his departure marked the practice's decline.
