This is the fifth time my new nurse hasn't returned my call šŸ˜”

I donā€™t like my new nurse. I think she is a jobsworth. She used to work on the ward. Have been on quite a few wards and this was by far the worst. The staff moral was terrible and the patients had no dignity.

I want a new nurse (and doctor too). But I think on the NHS I am not entitled to that

They only do the minimum required by their job. Literally only what their job is worth.

You can request a change in nurse and pdoc, if there are others available.

They sometimes ask for it in writing. Keep a dated copy so you can always say that you asked for a new one. Just remember to mention that they donā€™t return your calls!

a jobworth sounds like a fancy word for ā€œworker.ā€ I donā€™t see the differenceā€¦

It doesnā€™t matter if you donā€™t feel she is right for you you can ask for someone else.
Most people who work for,the NHS are so fed up and tiredā€¦

I call my nurse at 9 she calls me back before noon , 3 hour turn around

I would be angry too.

My Pdoc is notorious for not returning calls and itā€™s so annoying.

Poor communication is a warning sign youā€™ve got a crappy mental health professional. My old therapist sucked at communication and following anything through. Eventually it turned into her fully avoiding me until I had to quit seeing her. Find a new nurse.

This is what happens when people are not passionate about their work. They donā€™t care.
