Sorry if I have posted this in wrong place. I just had to get it off my chest.
I am so angry with the NHS at this moment I am so tempted to put in an offical complaint.
I have had an toothache for about 2 weeks and now have an absess Went to emergancy dentist who looked about 15 years old and didnt have a clue what he was doing and told me there was nothing he could do as I am 31
weeks pregnant and have asthma and then suggested that I go to the walk in clinic or pharmacy.
Went all the way to the other end of town to the walk in clinic to be told by the receptionist that they dont deal with absesses while pregnant and to contact my doctor. Went to the doctors (at the other end of town again) on the way to taking my son to nursery and the receptionist told me doctors wont see me because its dental and to go to the dentist or A&E.
On the way to A&E I called into the pharmacy and he told me I needed antibiotics and was very helpful tried to find out if there was anything else I could take etc but suggested I go to A&E as everything else I couldnt take because I am pregnant or becuase of the asthma. Went to A&E as soon as I said I was pregnant they told me to go to dentist that they dont deal with teeth.
I have just got back home and phoned the midwife for some advice as the pain is that bad now I am sat here crying and she told me to go to the Walk in Clinic or my Doctor.
All I have done all day is run around from one place to another trying to see someone to be told different things by different people. So much for a nice relaxing 30th Birthday today, it certainly will be one to remember.
Anyway now going to go back down to the walk in clinic (as cant get an appointment with doctor now) and demand to be seen this time.
