I've had enough with my GP surgery. I'm very worried about Mums meds being due on Christmas Day, and I've asked via a phone call, and the local social services have asked that I should be allowed to get them on Tuesday.
I've been very let down over the past three months by my local surgery and last month my Mum was without her meds for 5 days, and her Alzheimer's makes her incredibly violent and extreamily stressed. She needs zopiclone and lorazepam amongst her many other meds, otherwise it becomes beyond me as her son and carer to care for her.
I've decided that if I don't get her meds on Tuesday I'm going to seek legal advice, and start out a complaint in against my local chemist and surgery.
I live in the middle of nowhere, and cannot simply go to another surgery or chemist.
I wonder if any other carers have had such a similar problem? I'm fed up with never being able to get mums meds on time. I'm so stressed that I'll end up a week without meds to calm down her tempers (it's her Alzheimer's, so I do understand), but I can't take it any more. I'm going to put a complaint in, and I may go further as regards legal action I'm sick of it.
Sorry to moan, and I hope all readers have a good Christmas.
