Thanks for responding, sorry I was just getting a wee bit worried over here @Anastasia
I'm so sorry you've had a rough day and night. I guess if there was a blow up last night that explains his dodging the calls today. Shit move on his part though. Can't worry his mother like that, that's just not cool bro.
I'm really glad he's been able to get some help from the GP. Was he able to talk to them about this abuse from the pdoc? I mean I can put them on the list but it's getting long. My hand. My poor red hand. Just so many shit blokes in the world.
Well I won't pry, even though I want to. I'm just grateful to hear from you and know everyone is still in one piece. But I'm sorry things have been so rough. I hope that no matter what happened last night you guys will be able to find a way to come back together from it. Emotions are bound to be running hot right now, you're both probably exhausted, and he probably isn't aware of how much stress this has put you under either.
Sending you a very big hug and a nice hot cup of tea ☕️

He is too sedated @saltandpepper so stopped a med. It was his pdoc's stuck up secretary that gave him a serve even though it was pdocs advice to do so on discharge. He was ringing for advice and questionto be passed on and she shut him down big time!!!!
He didn't answer calls cause was out if it till 2ish, but I was beside myself.

Aw fu*k @Anastasia oh she is on the list for sure. Wtf. The doc should've told his receptionist to put the call through. Ffs. You guys have been through enough, can't they just pull their heads outta their asses and help you guys through this. It's not a big ask that the doc be on call for questions about medication when your son is adjusting at home. Blo*dy hell.
I can't imagine how much it would have scared you not hearing from him today. I hope the change to his meds will be right now. And if not, I hope the doctor/receptionist get their fu*king act together for next time.

His Dr is never available outside of appointment. One time wanted for emergency appointment, no word of a lie @saltandpepper
