I had to deal with UK medics recently, and you were very much on my mind.

Not for MH issues.

I've been unable to take aspirin (and all drugs that contain it, or are classed as NSAIDS, like ibuprofen, codeine) since my twenties. I wanted to be referred to a specialist, to investigate what's going on and find out if there are alternatives I could try etc.

Nine minutes later, the GP has told me there's nothing they can do, and is preparing to see me out.

It's unbelievable, their attitude.

Big hugs.
