Lack confidence things will be followed up
I have multiple complicated conditions but I feel that issues are treated in isolation and not holistically. I've been told by a doctor before that I have complicated issues, which I know, but that they only addressed the simple issue in the appointment and not the reason I had booked the appointment. I felt so dejected after this. Even when I was diagnosed with a new condition I've not been able to see a doctor to discuss the implications. I have seen the nurse, who said I needed to see a doctor, but then when I spoke to the doctor on the phone they said they didn't need to see me. I have regular blood tests, monthly, and have done for ages for one of my conditions, and then all of a sudden I'm being questioned about whether they are needed and what they are for. My notes are comprehensive so should explain why they are being done. When you do get a call back from a doctor I assume they are on hands free as it's very quiet and difficult to hear what they are saying. The lack of continuity with doctors for me is a real issue as each time I speak to someone different they have different ideas on how to manage the problems and I have to quickly explain as much as I can because they haven't had time to read my notes. I know they are doing their best but for me it's not working.
