Dr. Chris (TV Doc) reflects the average GP's knowledge of PA/B12

[Pickle500]

This is an interesting talk from Dr. Chris at a PAS event.

youtu.be/Eu958xX1klI(Not working as expected?)

Chris says that dealing with B12 or PA always made him feel uneasy. Why? He missed a chunk of his medical training because he was out rocking and rolling in 1960s Manchester.

Fair enough. We've all been there.

But beyond recognising the problem - B12 deficiency - all he could do was follow the guidelines.

Useful to remind ourselves that GP's are detectives looking for issues. So their training/knowledge cannot really match the range of issues caused by B12.

Only with greater awareness of B12 will medics change their view.

Thank you 🙏 x

[Lowblow]

By the sound of it not a fan of pharmaceutical drugs, yet these are dished out like smarties.

I wonder how many of us have been prescribed these in the past !

B12 Injections cheap as chips but not prescribed.

Nothing makes sense when you consider how much these drugs costs not only in ££££, but in human suffering.

Then on the flip side how much B12 injections cost, and saves people from disability, jobs dementia and the like.

Common sense sadly lacking within the NHS.

[Nackapan in reply to Hidden]

Yes.

Very short sighted .

Fire fighting .

So many sraff lost too with Brexit.

Yet to my suprise i had a phone call on Friday asking if i wanted a b12 injection Saturday moning !

Now have a nurse at the surgery and is on 'catch up' working a Saturday .

Hope she stays . Obviously a grafter wanting to sort the chaos .👍

[Nackapan]

Thsnjd for bringing this to our attention.

Clinical diagnosis. Listening to the patient.

Examining them

Not hapoened for a while ....such s pity ax he says will give then the diagnosis !

Was this talk 4 years ago?

[Chocolate41]

What a brilliant video and so true.

[Chocolate41]

look at the patient impossible to get a face to face appointment at our surgery.Every thing has changed since covid.😩

[andepande]

wow that was worth the watch . So many times I went to the dr and was told your depressed ! Who wouldn’t be if they have undiagnosed PA . I’ve also got under active thyroid which was diagnosed a year or two later . Let hope more GP learn about this problem and cheap treatment to give .

[Jillymo]

This video was put on Utube four years ago yet many of our Drs still dont understand our condition a little progress has been made with regard to treatment !

It should be shown to all consultants and Gps.

[Lurcher-lady]

That is fantastic and I so wish my GPs were even a tenth as thoughtful. I would send it to the surgery if I thought just one would watch and digest it, but it would probably just add to my label of ‘bonkers and attention seeking’ 🙁

[SunnyWorld]

Thankyou so much for the video. Very interesting

[jade_s]

Very nice, thanks for posting. It does seem like the art of clinical diagnosis no longer exists.... they only care about labs, and they're not even consistent in their interpretation of those.

[Yahaci in reply to jade_s]

The lab puts a sign next to values out of range. So Dr does NO work.

They should connect dots, but that would be work. And they don't like that. Cheque please.
