Grrrrrrr
The doctors ... our enemies. It’s “insane” and very very sad
Thanks for putting it so well, as always   |
Ah, thanks for letting me blow off a little steam about it!
Fuzzy, I did try to make a fuss in the GP surgery. It was gruelling. As you say, these things for some of us have to be learnt and done the hard way
Since joining PC, I do find it a little easier to know what phrases to use. Just from reading the supportive things the members here write to each other every day
I said to the doctor, 'This is really impacting on my life' and 'I find it hard to believe you can't do anything' and a few other things.
Alright, I slightly lost my temper
The doctor tried to catch me out by pointing to a prescription I'd been given by them years ago (for one of the drugs I can't take), and that I hadn't had a bad reaction then.
I replied, 'I put that prescription in the bin.'
(Look of disbelief from the medic).
'That was another occasion,' I said, 'when I WASN'T LISTENED TO.'
And it went on like that.
The doctor did make an offer, which I was grateful for, to do something in a few weeks which might help (I won't bore you with the details). But I felt terrible all night. Really awful. Almost dirty.
Well, thank you wise Fuzzy and everyone on PC.
