Terrible medical care that left me in pain

I've encountered multiple instances of misdiagnosis and poor communication from two doctors and the first contact Physiotherapist at this medical practice. As a result, I'm switching to a healthcare provider that actually listens to patients. My initial visit in July was for severe back pain, and the doctor prescribed Zapain, which provided zero relief. I was subsequently rushed to A&E within two weeks. Upon returning, Dr. Mason incorrectly labeled my condition as "chronic back pain," which was entirely inaccurate. Frustrated, I invested £350 in a private MRI that revealed significant back issues, including disc degenerative disease, osteoarthritis, a bulging disc, and sciatica. The first contact Physiotherapist initially recommended private physiotherapy and electrotherapy. Recently, after experiencing a debilitating back spasm that left me immobilized, I consulted the same Physiotherapist. Ironically, he now advised against private physiotherapy, claiming it wasn't effective due to my stiffness, and questioned the electrotherapy approach—which he had originally suggested! I'm now living in constant anxiety about my back's condition, and these healthcare professionals seem completely indifferent. Their consistent dismissal of my concerns is appalling, and I've decided to terminate my relationship with this practice. Despite having minimal prior medical needs, I'm utterly disappointed by their complete lack of competent care and would strongly advise others to avoid this medical facility.
