SHOULD GP SURGERIES BE RUN BY BRITISH DOCTORS?

We have had an 'NHS award winning' triage system at our surgery for some time now. The odds of getting an appointment with one's own doctor is 50:1 against . On two occasions last year I rang NHS direct out of hours regarding a suspected TIA only to be told it was a migraine. After the weekend I rang my own GP only to be told the same thing .Later in the day I collapsed and my wife called an ambulance. I spent the next 8 days in the local stroke unit and one week later had an operation on an artery in my neck. I regained the use of my limbs but am left almost blind in one eye. The personnel touch went out of the NHS in this part of Somerset a long time ago and I no longer care who sees me as long as they know what they are doing.
