Your Having a Laugh!

[HKAnne]

I put a post on the PA forum today, relating to my B12 blood test results (I also had TSH taken). The Healthcare Assistant asked me how I caught autoimmune disease!

Quite a few people on the PA forum found it funny - so I thought I would give the lovely people on the Thyroid UK forum a laugh too!

She might not have the greatest understanding, but I'm sure her heart is in the right place. Her left foot.

[HKAnne in reply to helvella]

Very good!

[Rmichelle]

What!! She must have been joking?? I despair.x

[HKAnne in reply to Rmichelle]

I wish she was!

[Rmichelle in reply to HKAnne]

I think she needs educating😊

[HKAnne in reply to Rmichelle]

Sadly, I think the whole practice does!

[mrsm49]

Oh dear lol.....

[Fruitandnutcase]

Ha, ha! Ive often wondered how I caught it too (joke!)

Happy to oblige - hope the day just keeps improving!

The clue is in the auto bit of auto immune-obviously self-inflicted!LOL

[HKAnne in reply to Naomi8]

Oh, Naomi8, that is way to clever for anyone that works at my GP practice, they would think that auto was referring to my car!

[valjo18]

I see she's a Health Care Assistant not sure if they need qualifications for that job! Still no excuse, I thought it was funny though.

[HKAnne in reply to valjo18]

Hi Valjo,

In every other practice that I have been with it has always been a nurse that takes blood tests, I always thought that HCA's worked in care homes - but what do I know.

Yes, it is funny and still making me and everyone I tell laugh - but it is funny and scarey at the same time.

From eating bread and cakes, obviously - that should put the wind up her!

[HKAnne in reply to Angel_of_the_North]

Hi Angel_of_the_North

Yes, "who eat all the pies?" - "oops, must have been me because I have auto immune disease!"

[Canta]

I wonder if she thought it was related to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Or is that giving her too much credit?

Another post on the PA forum that had me putting my head in my hands was regarding a GP's receptionist who asked a PA sufferer why they were so concerned about a reduction in the frequency of B12 shots, as 'it's only a vitamin'.

Is there any hope?
