Tired of GP's

I visited a GP at Intercare Glenfair in November 2014 because of severe joint pain. He could however not give me a diagnosis and sent me away with pain pills and anti-inflammatories. The pain did not get better, so I phoned him in December, but he did not return my call. Eventually my mother visited him in January (as I am based in the Eastern Cape), to which he then reacted and referred me to a specialist (still without diagnosis). Above all they charge above medical scheme rates so you have to pay in after consultation. I wrote them several emails explaining that I have been in severe pain and suffered due to being diagnosed incorrectly with no reply. At the end I had to pay in any case or legal action would be taken. I am so tired of docters who do not take their time with patients and still expect payment. It is not about the care of the patient anymore but all about money and how many patients can be seen in one day. Needless to say Intercare Glenfair will not be seeing me again.
