I could honestly weep. It took me 30 mins to walk to and from the doctors’ surgery. My appointment was 10 minutes late. I saw a doctor who I’d never seen before who asked me the same question about whether I was taking metformin and gliclazide four times. He then said the appointment was pointless as I didn’t have an up to date blood test. I was in the room for less than three minutes. No ‘how are you?’ Nothing. I feel totally rubbish, have a horrible cough and am not sleeping.
