Fakenham Medical Practice Dangerous Treatment

I had a blood test I asked if it showed abnormal results and was told that the surgery would contact me. So, after 7 days as I was still unwell, I phoned them and was told I needed an appointment with my GP. Earliest available appointment was in 14 days. My GP told me I had diabetes and I needed medication to start straight away and further tests. My GP is not at fault but appointments for such a serious condition should be within a few days. Multiple times blood tests I have had to wait over at least 14 days for an GP appointment, each time its due to a new serious condition. I have even ended up in hospital for several days receiving treatment because I have become too unwell to wait for my GP appointment. They need clerical staff to phone you to arrange with you an appointment. Your GP should have emergency appointments available for follow up treatment. Reception staff should listen and help you rather than be indifferent and unhelpful. Something needs to change as this dangerous.
