Does the words “EMRGENCY SERVICE” not mean anything to Doctors? I swear we should just change our name to “DOCTORS TAXI SERVICE”, where do they get off on trying to book transport for a timed appointment at an outpatients unit, and then get shitty when you tell them to get lost?
Its the same with X-rays, now I dont mind taking urgents for older people who need hip x-rays or leg x-rays, but the Doctors know the score that we cant guarentee when they will get to hospital because 999 calls come first, but you always get the Doctor who will not take no for an answer and tell the patient to ring 999 if the ambulance is not there 30mins before their appointment is due.
Doctors need to wake up, they are supposed to be working with us, not against us.
