I do tend to try to be polite and sweet usually. Maybe that is where I have been going wrong ..

If we speak up and are deemed ''rude'' we are simply struck off the GP practice

That hasn't happened to me but has happened to a few I know irl. And it is almost impossible for them to get the minimum ''care'' which is offered me (ie meds which do not work..

Someone was told ''we don't help people like you''

someone else was told ''coping with your illness involves accepting the level you are at''

and they were then discharged

.. UGH PUKE GRRRRR THUD
