Just maybe a step in the right direction

Since being ladled up in my GP medical notes last week as an active alcoholic and long term alcohol abuser which really is not the case I have had a very difficult week to manage my thoughts in my own head. I’m sure to many people this is nothing but because of the way I have been treated by the medical profession over the last 10 years or so as well as a life time of being put down by people in authority this has been very triggering.

I’ll be the first to admit that I have many problems in my life but drugs and alcohol abuse have never been one of them. And I hope they never will.

Tonight, I have received a phone call from one of the partners at the practice who has been assigned to look into my case and he has confirmed that a mistake was made and this mistake has now been corrected. This means all notes referring to alcohol abuse have been removed and a letter to say sorry and confirm the corrections have been made is going to be prepared and sent to me over the next few days.

I really wish this could have been sorted out quickly on Monday morning with nothing more than a phone call but the practice turned it into a major complaint, not me.
