wow why are their receptionists soooo nice. mines are always so evil and angry. any time you go in they just ignore you and get angry coz ur there and shout at you. i never met a nice one in my surgery. once i was really ill and went in for a emergency and they made me feel like i was lying like wtf why would i lie about being sick. then the doctors had to get blood tests done and i was sent for a referral to the hospital even
Well you have to complain in writing to your Practice Manager in the first place and if not resolved escalate the issue. I have never known anyone raise their voice. More to this than meets the eye.
a similar thing happened to my sister! GP receptionists can be really nasty it's so strange. she complained to the manager and he or she had a word with the horrible receptionist. My guess is they like the power of 'control'
To be honest this surgery is one of the better ones for sure... you'd like to think it's not just for the cameras... you know but some GPS are awful...
@@agoodwasteoftime. I wonder if that would work? In my local GP surgery, the staff are not just cold and seemingly angry about something, but totally incompetent to a degree it’s difficult to imagine. And lie.
I'm actually surprised the Dr didn't say let me look at your teeth when the kid said it hurt to bite sometimes. Glad to see from comments that it was only from an infected tooth and nothing more sinister! 😊
not sure what it's like in the UK but in Aus we don't get taught about teeth! plus we didn't get to see the rest of the consult, she very well might have had a look and not seen anything obvious.
Every country has a different set of rules with clinical procedures, and this is obviously filmed pre-COVID, but I had an absolute HEART ATTACK when the lovely Fay did that blood test without any gloves on hahaha
@@kole1ful Exactly my point - she did a blood-drawing procedure using a sharp without a pair of gloves which can put both her and the patient at risk of blood-borne infections if something went wrong. Where I'm from, we have to wear gloves when we take blood.
@@kategreaves297 For the most part, soap and water are just as effective as gloves for minor things like this. Latex gloves won’t stop a needle or scalpel, so unless the doctor is wearing thick leather gloves, it’s pointless.
Don't know why my Doctor decided to be a Doctor he accuses me of lying and last time he got his wife to ask me if I can leave them a fake review on the NHS website
I had a doctors surgery who left me with anemia for 6 years to the point I’m falling asleep whilst riding my bike or falling asleep an hour after waking up, it’s also affected my teeth with me getting cavities and broken teeth with me having every deficiency going, I’m so glad I moved drs
My grandfather, who is 90 years old this year, needs to be seen by doctors for different issues. He is a British Overseas Citizen, but resides in Kenya East Africa. I would like to take him to see these doctors. Where are they located, so I can take him?
So she just said it could be cancer but the referral time is a few weeks this is what’s wrong with this country under staffed and over worked and long waiting periods
I think an important thing to remember is that 1 in 2 people get cancer, the waiting time for a referral can be UP to two weeks simply due to the amount of people who unfortunately get it… in comparison to mental health referrals this is extremely short. I’ve had both parents and a sister diagnosed with cancer and the way it works means many cancers are treated as early as possible thanks to that short waiting period… hence why I still have my sister and mum here today. We should be applauding the NHS regardless as you say, however two weeks is nothing in comparison to operations/transplants and despite being understaffed and overworked they would never place someone in danger.
I was referred to a specialist because a weird spot showed up on a tonsil, though the MRI was for my stenotic neck....it was almost one year to the day before I was finally seen..thats what Canada's like...very poor healthcare, especially in diagnostics...getting worse all the time.. I'd be thrilled if it only took 2 weeks, even 2 months..to see the specialist. People die in Canada waiting for medical help.
Urgent is urgent/now/asap not within a couple of weeks. How come nobody thought to take the kid to the dentist? Do you guys need a referral for that too? I hate to say it, but these doctors aren't at all thorough. Our pediatrician used to examine every patient thoroughly no matter what the kid came in for. Case in point: I brought in one of my kids because of a sore shoulder. In addition to examining his shoulder, he doctor checked his nose, throat, ears, glands and chest. It turned out he had strep throat. A few days on antibiotics and the shoulder pain disappeared.
I think you’ll find that referral under urgent suspicion of cancer within the NHS is a target of within 2 weeks for absolutely anyone. It is not the doctors decision
0:10. This patient is a perfect choice to play Bhutto an ex Pakistani president who was hanged till death . If there is any Pakistani watching this, they would know how much that patient resembles him.
Don’t need a big cuff. Use a regular one on the wrist. Likely to be more accurate. Very heavy people have triangular shaped upper arms, where the top is wider than the bottom. Automatically wrong. Wrist area tends to be the most uniform in size at the top and bottom and will give a more accurate result. And I was an instructor of both nurses and doctors.
So she thinks it’s possibly cancer in a child, and everyone thinks it’s normal to wait for up to two weeks to hear from a hospital? In the US, you go right away. If it’s cancer, you stay in the hospital. You don’t wait and sleep on these things.
