[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 241168, member: 30851"] I would cerainly agree with Bendict. In fact I hink hat point should be writen in bold type at the op pf every page - or something to the effect that none of the opinions expressed are to be taken as medical advice or accepted as correct. Of course the danger is , that readers will just "dip -in " and not read theough the whole thread , just taking one post in isolation - but that is the case with everything. One of the most disturbing things I find with the diabees clinics is that , unlike a GP consultation the Nurses seem never to have read my medical history. They generally know what medication I am taking but are unaware of my complications so that I have to remind them every 3 months . I think the answer might be technophobia . Any advice given is therefore based on an incomplete picture. Much of it appears to be off-the -cuff and is not recorded. In my particular case it is worrrying as none of the Gps in my practice will speak to patients about diabetes.referring it all to the nurse. That means that the Nurse can deny giving he information . This is less likely to happen with the doctor as the consultation is generallly more specific. I find this quite worrying,. I have been given incorrect information on a few occasions. Fortunately I checked it so that no damage was done. What of those who didn't or couldn't? I am sure that here are many nurses more capable than GPs in he management of chronic conditions. But what of the others? Are there sufficient safeguards in place for patients? I believe that each GP Practice should have a doctor at least, supervising he mangement of these nurse-led clinics, Apologies for hi-jacking the thread! [/QUOTE]
