Letter to local press

[Ghound]

Hi everyone, but especially briarhillcat & all in Aberdeen / Grampian / Highland region.

Just to say that following the letter from my GP cancelling all B12 Injections, I have written to the Aberdeen Press and Journal newspaper.

Was going to wait for a reply to my complaint from my GP practice, but I suddenly thought of all the patients, mostly elderly, who don't access the internet and for whom local press is their main source of information.

They have the right to know the current, correct advice from the BSH and PAS and not to be fobbed off with flawed information and platitudes from their GP'S.

I only hope my letter is published ...

Thanks for all the support after my last posting 👍

Hi,

I hope there will be more people like you who have the courage to talk to the press, radio, TV , MPs and devolved representatives.

Like you, the thought of all those too frail or foggy to fight this haunts me.

Have you had any contact with your MP or your MSP?

[Ghound in reply to Sleepybunny]

Thanks Sleepy bunny, haven't as yet contacted MP. Unfortunately had to write to him very recently about dangerous trees , so don't want folk to think I'm one of those constant complainers ! However if nothing comes of my letter to the paper , I will. x

Great idea thank you. I hope your letter is published . I stay in Aberdeenshire and was informed injections are suspended at my surgery for a year.

[Ghound in reply to feegee26]

Thanks for your support, fingers crossed ! x

Hi. Well done. I'll look out for that in the P&J.

I'm in Moray. I got my B12 injection a week ago after phoning my practice. However, that was the first contact I've had with them and I've not had any guidelines about isolating or accessing medications. There doesn't seem to be any country-wide guidelines for autoimmune diseases?

The PAS issued an article about PA and covid-19.

In essence, it said that we were no more, and no less, at risk of catching it, or being more badly affected than anybody else.

[Morayshasha in reply to fbirder]

I missed that. Thanks

[Ghound in reply to Morayshasha]

Thanks ! x

Hi, just read your post, my husband suggests you write to Jeane Freeman the Scottish Health Minister, if all this fails. Stopping these injections should not be happening! I’m in Renfrewshire and so far I’ve been getting my injections and haven’t been told otherwise! It’s scandalous to treat people like that! Take care!

[Ghound in reply to Marrob]

Hi, good idea ! Thanks for your support ! x

[Traceyma]

Well done. I thought I was the only one this is happening to but clearly not x

[Ghound in reply to Traceyma]

Thanks Tracey, hope our GP's have a change of heart soon x

[Traceyma]

Me too. Look after yourself xx

[Ghound in reply to Traceyma]

You too ! xx

[Ryaan]

Good work

👍

[Ghound in reply to Ryaan]

Thanks for your support ! Sadly , doesn't look like they're ever going to print it though ... 😕 x

[Ryaan in reply to Ghound]

You spoke up for everyone not just for yourself.

That’s a great thing whether they print it or not.

[Ghound]

That's very kind of you , cheers for that and wishing you all the best x

[briarhillcat]

Hello Ghound, thank you for doing that. That is very kind.*-
