Are my doctors inept, stupid, or just don’t give a shit?

Following on from last week when my care provider, Gender GP, requested that I have a blood test to swap the prescription drugs that I am on, they sent a request to my doctors.

I even went into the doctor’s surgery to confirm that they had received the said email, but alas by Wednesday I had heard nothing from my doctors so I contacted Gender GP again to organise a private blood test and copied my doctor into the e-mail and voice my displeasure.

Of course, Gender GP responded very quickly but my doctors waited nearly all day before calling me to say that they had organised a blood test request form on Monday however they had failed to let me know, sighting that they assumed I would know.

Not only am I a medical outcast, because I use a private service
who prescribe my drugs because the NHS won’t,
but I’m also now supposed to be a fucking clairvoyant?!?

You honestly couldn’t make this stuff up and this is why I am getting increasingly pissed off with my doctors and am now actively seeking another surgery because of the way they deal with me.

If I ran my business the same way that they run their practice and treated my customers in the manner, I wouldn’t have a business in a very short period of time.

So they’ve requested the blood test for me but neglected to let me know! Do I then need to hold a séance each time I contact you?

No text message, no e-mail, no phone call (well not until I emailed them), and then it took an e-mail from me to my care provider for them to actually phone me by which time I had organised a private blood test.

I am going to complain to the General Medical Council because I am getting increasingly pissed off with the way that they are treating me because I want to find out why there is such poor treatment.

  • Is it because I’m using a private care provider for my prescriptions?
  • Is it because I’m transgender and they don’t want to deal with me?
  • Or is it because the staff there just don’t give a toss?

Answers on a postcard, please!

I have actually emailed the surgery back to voice my concerns and they deemed to send me a text message, a screenshot of which is the opposite, instead of replying to my email! Probably because they know how angry I am at present!

As you can see they thought that I was doing something which I know nothing about!

Nobody has told me that I can self-refer, again lack of communication.

They didn’t even deem to put the web address in the text message they sent me which means I have to go and find this website!

Yet again dealing with my doctors leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth!

I really wonder if they are inept, stupid, or just don’t care!
