O/T GP Surgeries & Treatment

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

I have done this posting due to the serious events that happened to my wife.

During the week Monday 11th October to Thursday 14th October, my wife was very ill,
Monday kept telephoning the GP surgery, getting no where on the phone, ( After myself
being on hold for 2hrs 18 mins over a month ago ), I went to the GP surgery Tuesday
morning at 8.30am, went into the surgery, all the shutters closed on the receptionist
windows, even though there was staff there.
I went to the intercom, to which they answered, I told them my wife was very ill, & that
she needed to see a doctor, a lady said she would get someone to phone my wife, in the
afternoon a practitioner phoned my wife, from the surgery, my wife told her she thought
that she ought to have a blood test, so the practitioner said, if my wife thought this she
could have a blood test, & that she would tell the receptionist to do a form, for my wife to
have a blood test at Montagu Hospital. To which the surgery would contact my wife.
Normally when having a blood test from our GP surgery, you pick up a form signed by the
GP, no one contacted my wife until Wednesday afternoon, when the practitioner asked my
wife if she had been for a blood test, my wife replied she had not had any contact from
the GP surgery to pick up the form.
The practitioner said it was digitally sent to the hospital, but no one had informed my wife
from the surgery.
My wife was too ill to go for the blood test Thursday, so I took her to Montagu Hospital on
Friday morning for 9am to have the blood test.
Friday afternoon at 4pm, a doctor phoned from the GP surgery, saying my wife had to go
to hospital straight away for a blood transfusion, after her blood count was dangerously
low.
I took my wife to Rotherham General Hospital, after being told to go straight to a ward,
where my wife was admitted to hospital, having 2 blood transfusions & 1 Floinject
vitamin transfusion, when my wife was admitted, her hemoglobin blood count was 55g/L.

Hemoglobin values.
Grades
Moderate ---------------- 80-110 g/L
Severe ----------------- - 65-79 g/L
Life threatening below -- 65 g/L

Normal values Women --- 120-160 g/L
Normal values Men ------- 140-180 g/L

My wife was released from hospital Saturday night at 8pm, her blood count 87 g/L

I took my wife back to hospital on Saturday 23rd October, for another Floinject vitamin
transfusion, where we spent 6 hours in the hospital.
Consultant arranged for my wife to have a Gastroscopy & Colonoscopy examination, which
she had at Rotherham General hospital on Wednesday 27th October, after first having a
covid test at Woodside, Moorgate road on Sunday 24th October.
My wife still has to have a scan, to be arranged.

GP surgeries booking a appointment, to have to explain symptoms to a receptionist, before
getting a chance to see a doctor, is totally out of order, what medical qualifications has a
receptionist got.
But it took my wife to have to ask for a blood test, a nurse at the hospital said, it was a
good job she did, because her blood levels were dangerously low.

One of my mates blood count is 126 g/L but his doctor told him he needs treatment to
bring the level up.
