I had to get a script for my blood pressure tablets and could only see a locum. The usual doctors were not there to see me. I was told by the locum that they could not give me a script because:
1. They didn't know me
2. The system on the computer has changed and they have no information on me
3. The tablets I was after would be a triple whammy and kill my kidneys.
I told the locum that I would probably die if I don't take my tablets and I only had 4 tablets left. They said I will give you only 30 tablets and you need to have your bloods done. So I proceeded to have my blood taken. After both my hands and both arms were prodded and pricked, there was no blood. Then I was told that I had to have my blood pressure taken. I replied, are you for real? After everything I have just gone through, you think my blood pressure will be normal? I feel I will never go to see a locum again, and if it isn't hard enough here in remote Wyndham town, I can always drive 100 kilometers to Kununurra to see someone there. What a joke.
