Didnt know where this should go, so iv stuck it here.
Long story short - I took my lo to a&e at 9 weeks old, diagnosed with silent reflux given ranitidine and domperidone. took him to see my GP at 11 weeks old, to see if dose could be up'ed. Dr, totally F*ucking useless as always, said he would do a refural to a pead and when I needed a repeat prescription to just drop in a request.
Soooo, monday I drop in my request... Today i send OH down to collect it, who tells me they are waiting on dosages etc to be faxed from the hospital blah blah, I go down there, and tell them to sort their lives out, we dont have time to muck about, hes runing out of ranitidine. They say they will take prescruption in to get it signed from the GP and come back in half hour. SO back in half hour, they they say that some guidelines or other state that ranitidine is not for the under 3's so they wont give it - its a REPEAT prescription FFS, someone MORE qualified has prescribed it for something they diagnosed that the GP called Colic - twat!!
What can I do!? He cant not have it, he will be in agony, and wont be able to drink his milk again!! Do you think going down to A&E and seeing if theres someone I can speak to there may help? Just pull his file out, and get a repeat prescription done up or something?! I was thinking of going down there tonight after Iv put him to bed at half 7. I dont know what to do. I Cant bear to have him crying all day and all night again like before.
I AM also, complaining about the GP and changing practices, as my practice will NEVER be able to prescribe ranitidine apparantly - great!! If this is the case why didnt the GP tell me this 13 days ago when we were there for anoter waste of time appointment with him!! I could have paid to go provate to see a pead if thats what I needed to do, I dont care about the money, so long as my LO is ok!!!
Any Ideas?!??!?
