Good morning all, Just an update.

11 years ago•11 Replies

I managed to see a doctor yesterday that actually listened to me and took everything i said into consideration.

I got my much needed sick note for my full teeth extraction. She is also getting me a letter to tell about all the conditions i have and what i am able to do and what i am unable to do. The doctor gave me my repeat prescription for my COPD and made it till next year Jan and asked me to come and see her on the 29th of this month.

Saying she would like to go over a few things with me about the conditions i have and to discuss the effects it is having on my life and what i can do about it.

This seems to be the first doctor i have seen that actually seems to give a damb and the funny thing is i had a very bad stomach ulcer most my life and after being told to carry on the way i am i requested another doctor and got her, She put me on an intensive regime of 2 months of antibiotics and got me sorted out, this was last year and have had no probs since. I think i just need to keep seeing her because she is wonderful.

Finally i am getting some answers from someone who actually seems to give a hoot.

Now just to request to see a lung specialist.

Hope you are all in good spirits and enjoying the sun as much as you can.

Hi Gazath

It's fantastic that you finally got a GP that listens. It makes a really great difference when they listen and care. I am fortunate to have a wonderful GP practise where all of the doctors are excellent. Have fun in the sunshine but don't overdo it.

Well done Gaz. There are some good doctors after all.

Mine is fantastic. When I need a letter for anything like renewing my bus pass she types it herself on the computer rather than put it though the secretaries. This means I don't get charged for it. She said she doesn't believe in charges like that.

She was also brilliant with my mum and was the one who set up the syringe driver for her with a very low dose of morphine to make sure she didn't suffer at all. None of the other doctors thought of that. She also gave me a sick note because of my mums death as I am still grieving. Said she would repeat it if needed. When you find a great doctor you hold on to them. Congrats on finding yours.
