    Theres steam rising off me.
    I had a pay to go to a doctor in College today. He wants me to see my own GP fairly ASAP and get referred to a specialist. Im aware my medical card isnt switching until Good Friday but this gets better. Sean Hogan is not going to be working there until the Tuesday after Easter.

    Next saga. I have found another GP willing to take me. I filled out the nessecary forms to transfer and it turns out that Eithne Brenners GMS list is locked down until July 3rd so we are FORCED to go to this new surgery until then.
    My Blood is sizzling through me, someone will be getting a pice of my mind tomorrow morning.

    They will be getting a piece of my mind in the morning, I can tell you that. I need to see a doctor to be referred to a consultant but that cant happen without a GP can it?

    Could you go back to the Brenner Clinic before they close and get them to refer you on to a consultant?

    Not with all my history. And to be honest I never want to see the inside of the place again.

    No but I found a GP willing to take me so I can wash my hands of it all.
    Yet another twist today. Since the list will not transfer until next week, you have to pay to see deborah grey until then.
    Now I know the truth, all it has done is heighten my respect for Dr [name removed]. I have a good idea why he left in the manner he did and it shows alot of integrity in him as a person and as a professional . I still believe he didnt tell me, or other patients, things that he knew but nevertheless I would probably do the same,

    I got a letter yesterday morning even though I'm not and never have been a patient of the Brenner clinic.

    I had been seen by her Faceworks clinic but I thought it silly to send me a letter about the whole goings on out there and telling me how to switch GP's.

    Was that letter to the same effect as the one posted here a while back?
    I thought that this only affected Medical Card Patients but now I don't know what to believe. I'm finished with the place now anyway

    Yeah it was, saying the practice is closing on Good Friday because she can't get GP blah blah blah. that GMS patients will be transfered to Dr. Gray and private patients can move to whom ever they want.

    Thought it a bit unprofessional to send me a letter as I was seen at the Faceworks clinic which should be treated as a completely separate business. I had thought about switching to her practice months ago, glad I didn't.

    Is her faceworks clinic closing too?

    I don't believe she can't get doctors. I switched there 4 years ago and even though [name removed] was probably the best doctor I ever saw, I can't stop thinking if I didn't I wouldn't be in this mess.
    I'm a GMS patient too so things are not so easy.

    I had to call them today and they asked if I got the letter. When I said I didnt. I told it would be out soon. Not much notice today is Tuesday and they close on Thursday.

    No idea but I imagine he'll just find a new place.
    You posted a while back that this was not the Doctors fault and now I know the truth it absolutely wasn't.
    I just really wish [name removed] told me he was leaving. He didn't have to say anything about the clinic closing but i suppose I just wish I left things differently with him and tied off some loose ends in a way that now I might never get the chance to do.

    Dave Hackett has an advert in the paper stating it's business as usual for him.

    It's closing in 2 weeks time so people should be requesting their files if they haven't already.
