I did complain about a GP once and action was taken! It was a locum ( retired 20 years!!) who prescribed me a decongestant for pleurodema! And then told me to go and buy a nice ice cream to cheer myself up with! Outcome - surgery never used him again. My surgery is usually very good at treating crisis inhouse - eg giving me s/c terbutaline, nebs & O2 when my asthma kicks off or parking my friend in a quiet room with 15 min obs to sleep off one of her many fits she has. Same friend fitted last Sunday in church! I protected her head, the recovery possition, checked her pulse, meds list etc etc etc Didn't leave her until I and another friend had deposited her at home with her call care bell on and phoned an hour later to see if she was OK! Oh and I would have given her my O2 if she went blue! ( she does have it prescribed BTW) I think you should put in a report - that is appalling behaviour from a GP! I think GPs should cover basic life saving skills and first aid on a regular basis then they will realise that you can't just plonk a post ictal (??) epileptic in a waiting room. ( I sat on the church floor for over 40 minutes with my friend incase she fitted again and when we moved her I made sure I had a person on each side in case shw went over again) I think it must vary from practice to practice the quality of care. My only bugbear is getting latex free gloves provided - I phone 24 hrs before so they have time to find the box of nitrile gloves they bought for latex sensitive patients! LOL! (I do carry my own in case) Anyway, Have ranted on enough! Kate
