"Lack of duty of care by my GP"

About: GPs in the Ocean Reef Electoral District

(as the patient),

My issue surrounds "duty of care".

On numerous occasions the WBC was high and no further tests were requested.

I believe you can clearly observe that there has been a high WBC over numerous months with only one reading taken that was in spec in March (could be a false positive).

The testing after that date showed a rise in the WBC again (late July) and still nothing done!

The overall medical conclusion of my heart surgeon is that Microplasma Pneumonia was laying dormant for at least 1 year awaiting a drop in my immune system to activate, which of course it did.

The clinical diagnosis was "walking Pneumonia" Microplasma Pneumonia, which is not screened for pre op.

I feel my GP has failed in their duty of care.
