@RoseRed Thats so true , GP’s are becoming more distant, A lot changed when the went into appoinments , then the next step was off load a lot on to the Nurse , I should have had my yearly
review last month , before my meds can continue ,
what I got was 2 Text messages , .
First one was asking to follow the link iin the text and fill the online form , They want to know my
Enthnicity, haha , Ive been with this GP group for 50 years …
Now Ive been asked to go online again and send them my BP readings !!!
Ive ignored both these Text , my phone is the old type and theres no way I can follow any link ,
Besides my review should include Urine and Blood test too , how they going to do that online ?
Some one else who had these Text said the link didnt work anyway, they went into the Surgery and complained … The Waiting room was Empty.
Which begs the question what are these Drs doing , what do they get paid for …
Personally I think Covid as a lot to answer for , Drs suddenly became aware of their own Vulnerability
and have decide to distance themselves ,
Gone are the days when they put the Patient first , they put themselves first . And some not even wanting to do that , they leave .
Leading a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean there isn’t something else going on in your body. I can look and feel amazing but drop dead tomorrow from heart disease or renal issues or cancer. You don’t know until you find out.
My dad was a healthy individual, a “man’s man” but died of heart complications.
Labwork can catch diseases and complications like cancer, cholesterol, Kidney issues, liver issues etc. Labwork is just a start to any healthy journey
Last Tuesday mr M had a telephone appointment with the doctor at their instigation .
He was told to allow 45 minutes either side of the appointment which he duly did .
Nothing .
He then contacted the practice and asked why the doctor had not called and was given the answer they had no idea .
Great isn’t it .
That’s interesting Besoeker. My older brother has a lump on his forehead and we keep telling him to get it looked at. It’s been there several years and is quite unsightly too.
It’s the same at this end d00d. Mostly locums, and a different one each time. They don’t seem to read my medical records so I have to explain where we are at every time I visit. I thought about taking in my daily journal so they could read the latest release…
We had about half a dozen good doctors serving our local surgery and one by one they either retired or left. The surgery has been given an ultimatum by either the NHS or the council…Either pull your socks up by the end of the month, or you will be closed…
I can’t see that happening…
