Written by a patient

I recently went with a skin complaint. It was diagnosed as scabies. The correct treatment was prescribed but no other important information was forthcoming such is the need to have your wife/partner treated and what to do with your recent clothing and bedding. the doctor had to read about scabies from a book. being unsatisfied and concerned I got in touch with the head scientist of the manufacturers of Derbac. He was amazed that my wife had not been called in for treatment by the surgery! trying to get her an appointment has been impossible and I have to say been met with some derision and resistance as if I have had the affront to question a doctor. I am far from happy with this situation and considering an official complaint and possible legal action should she become infected as I have been. I realise that the staff get abuse from some people but they should treat genuine patients with greater courtesy and compassion. people tend to trust in professional people such as Doctors, is the trust being misplaced I wonder?
