Barr Street Community Assessment Centre

Message to lady Doctor J Oliver, it was AF, 2 weeks in the Royal cardiac unit. You call yourself a doctor? How did you enjoy you're re-training? Can you now tell the difference between AF and Bronchitis? I reject your response and apology to the official complaint. You failed, simple as that. The description given by me as to the problem was clear at the time of examination. If you are unfortunate and are to be examined by her, ask for someone else. Try a vet. I had severe difficulty breathing, on Wednesday I phoned usual practice for a GP, I was phoned back by a GP. I was then told that I would be referred to Barr street. They would phone me. Barr street phoned me with an appointment at lunch time, don't be late. I arrived at Barr street and parking was excellent. A slight delay, then welcomed in with PPE clad staff. Brought to a waiting room, A lady called Linda and her son were positive for covid 19 using a lateral flow test, she looked in a bad way as she waited for assistance. Then I was taken to a nurse, I said it was difficult for me to breath like being attacked for 3 hours, then it would ease off. A lady Doctor came in and sounded me thoroughly, she said I probably had viral Bronchitis. I asked for antibiotics. She explained that this was not the best for me as they don't work against virus, contact me if you are not better in a week!! I then had a PCR test, two days later got a negative result. In the early hours of Saturday, Sunday and Monday 3am I could hardly breathe, After 3 hours of Hell on the Monday I phoned NHS 24 at 6am, Answered after about 10mins, asked lot's of questions, then told a Doctor would phone me back within 4 hours. Doctor phoned at 12.15pm, again lot's of questions. He thought it was more complicated than Bronchitis. I said I need antibiotics. He gave me antibiotics and an inhaler. Many thanks Doctor from 111. After 3 days taking antibiotics the difference in my health is amazing. Not one to complain, but several days of anguish trying to breathe isn't fun. So Bronchitis was correct, but bacterial bronchitis does respond to antibiotics. No physical support from the lady Doctor at Barr street, this just made my illness worse. Environmental contamination due to fungus while renovating my bathroom was probably the cause. I did tell the Doctor at Barr street but she failed to consider this as a possibility. Sorry but not impressed with Barr Street at all. Or the Quack! Perhaps this will help with your retraining lady Doctor J Oliver, found this on youtube.

I had to take my 16 month here this evening for a check. Gp wouldn't see her because she had a temperature. The staff were absolutely amazing. So friendly. So helpful. Was terrified for my baby having to get the test done. However I cannot fault the staff in any way. So happy with the service they provided. Thanks so much!

Possibly the worst doctor Ive ever encountered. She kept saying I took tramadol after I told her I took Tylenol/paracetamol. Could not remember anything I said. I dialed 111 about a non-COVID issue, they sent me to this clinic, and the doctor just lectured me on how I should have gone to a GP.

Tested positive for Covid 19 and breathing was deteriorating, crackling noise from lungs which was painful on right side and temperature high so sent to Barr St Hub....was told by doctor i was panicking so breathing not a problem and go home and do breathing exercises. Fast forward 48 hours and im in ambulance with covid 19 pneumonia! Appalling lack of care and total disinterest by doctor...well i presumed she was a doctor but she hardly came near me and stood arms folded spouting at me to breath properly!
