My gob is well and truly smacked!
"Finally, one GP .... said that when he is pressurized into prescribing an antibiotic he gives erythromycin and does not warn the patient not to take it on an empty stomach [which causes pain].
“If I wanted to be nasty to somebody.......I think people.... could theoretically call me unethical but I do not think I am....” "

1999 was a long time ago!
Yes, a shame attitudes have not changed.

There are sympathetic doctor out there. I know because I have one, bless him, but appreciate that there are some supercilious *******s. They make me angry and I let them know t.

Yes, I like to keep serenity on the go, but not very tolerant w here vulnerable patients are concerned. Some the things, I read about what can happen in modern hospitals, and staff, I do not understand.
Was a time when caring was part of nurses training .. But i think its not thay dont care think its more to busy and going threw the process when i have been hospital have meet very nice doctors nurses .. Its just these so called GP's letting the side down ..
Gov needs to get a grip of these GPs i could buy my self fake docs of ebay and sit 30 min test then am UK Gp how mad is that
Hard to understand that people can get fake documents. It would not be long before they would get caught, but always some nutta to have a go.
Ye i wrote to my MP and he said there is nothing than can do if thay have come from europe .. But i do my bit when ever i go for atos assessment take pic of his qualafacations tell them and going to phone them
I expect you have heard of PALS, patients' advsory liaison service or something like that. I had poor treatment in South Africa, 14 years ago resulting in pneumonia on my return to the UK, years ago.. Things haven't been right since. Blamed a buggy lady on the plane.
Wow! Makes you think doesn't it.
With flibberti, I agree they are not really good. The only good out of it is if you go to sleep and start coughing for ever, not being able to cough up, perhaps something like Pholcodine which contains codeine, just to help you sleep. Otherwise, try Active Breathing Cycle Technique to cough up as gently as you can before sleeping - and during the day.
