Dr Woodward refused to provide a quick private referral to a private consultant. She said she wanted the hospital discharge papers I had already shown her to be sent to her by email and by hard copy. When I said I could do both immediately, she replied; "even so it will take two weeks to make a referral letter".
In place of hospital prescribed morphine for pain management, she offered paracetamol for post-surgical pain relief after a fractured shoulder repaired with a metal plate and screws.
Dr Woodward appeared to relish in her power to do nothing for her patients. I went to MyHCA GP, downloaded the app and booked a next day appointment with a decent doctor who prescribed and referred immediately.
