Thanks for reading my post.
Please, I am desperate for help, responses or personal experience.
a) In December 2017 at my own request I asked for help from my GP to help reduce reduce alcohol consumption.
b) Re the above I attended clinic just once. I realised that I was responsible for reduced consumption. I sat amongst people who were clearly having alcohol related problems. No further visits. NB as a result of a high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (potential prostrate problem. NB2. after regular 6 month screening my Liver and Kidney function tests have always been spot on for a healthy person, or as the blood test says "No further action".
c) At that time my GP record shows alcohol units at 100 pw. ( this is contentious but is on my medical history)
d) My records show continuous consumption of 50 to 55 units per week
e) A DVLA medical questionnaire, was sent to my doctor, as a result of 20 years of Bi-Polar
f) GP has ticked "yes" to question 13 In the past 6 years has the patient suffered from alcohol abuse?
g) Q 13a Is it Controlled. GP writes "I dont know"
h) Q 14 has the patient required medical detoxification? Answer "no"
i) Q 15 has there been persistent alcohol misuse in the last 3 years. Answer "yes"
j) Q 15a Is it controlled. GP writes " I dont know"
k) Numerous letters to DVLA regarding my case From my psychiatrist, and my local MP to support my case, stating that I am not dependent. Also from friends and family who are all massively alarmed
l) No other issues re mental health or drugs. All positive results.
m) All the above as a result of 70th birthday.
n) I have a totally clean licence and have had no points, summons or whatever for over 30+ years.
Please God, what can I do if anything at all?
