Really bad experiences with GP surgery

I would choose to go to another clinic. What's the point in being registered with them if I cant see a doctor when Im ill?

In all fairness, how do know OP isn't a hypochondriac, constantly making appointments and wasting NHS resources over nothing?

I'm not saying that's the case at all, just that we are only hearing one side of the story. It is a very strange situation..

If it were that urgent than an ambulance would have been sent. GP surgeries do not have the funding any more to waste on people who just 'feel sick' and the receptionist was right to turn you away. It can't be that bad if you've turned on your computer and posted on the internet to moan about it.

I was following the advise given to me through 111.

She was completely in the wrong. She didnt offer me an appointment because of who I am, not because im not genuinely sick.

lol, I'm just reciting what you yourself said previously, so I know that much.

Do you always get upset when you don't get your way?

111 would have called you an ambulance if it were that serious. How do you know it was because of who you are?

It sounds like you always go in for silly things all the time and they're sick of you if that's the case, the boy who cried wolf, how often do you go? And why?

Are you being hostile for any particular reason?

Do you realise how offensive that into someone with severe health anxiety? How would you like to spend most of your hours worrying about having a heart attack or dying from some serious illness? I cant go and see my dying grandmother in Spain, thats how bad I am. Do you have any idea what that feels like?

Thanks. I would complain but as I said all complaints in the surgery are dealt with by my GP, who is responsible for my not getting an appt today (she pretty much runs the clinic) as she set up the unique arrangement I have with her. I think she would file my complaint under B-I-N.

Because I have an arrangement with them. Read the op.

I have read it. She wouldn't give you an appointment because you didn't need the appointment, arrangement or not. Do not go to A&E because of whatever this is; that would be a waste of everyone's time and NHS money. They won't do anything for you in A&E because there's probably nothing physically they can do, and you''ll wait hours to be told this. Go to bed.

Something happened today which really takes the biscuit. Yesterday night I was sick, and I was advised by 111 to call the GP in the morning to make an urgent appointment. Because I'm a regular patient there is an agreement that I will be seen twice a week by the same doctor. I understood that if I was sick and needed an urgent appointment, I would still be seen, however when I called the receptionist said I was only allowed to see that doctor and she wasn't available today. She then practically accused me of making up my own sickness. she didn't give me an apt, not because there were no doctors available, but because it was me. I am very angry and upset about this. the staff are now not only being rude, they are being hostile.
what can I do about this? Should I wait until I see my doctor and tell them what happened, or should I just change surgeries? this isn't the first time I've been treated unfairly and I don't want to be in this situation again. I still feel sick and I will probably go to A&E for something that could have been addressed at the clinic.
I don't believe I can rely on them anymore when I'm ill but I wanted other people's opinion.

I did need the appointment, and I was advised to get one by a nurse on 111. she didn't give me an appointment because it was me. the guy standing behind me got one so there were still doctors available, they could have fit me in.
you don't know how I'm feeling or what my illness is.
