[QUOTE="Blueszoo, post: 668714, member: 137017"] Hi Enclave and Dibbles, I think there are many of us with problematic ignorant GPs. My partner has colon cancer and I hustled for a full blood count to be done, as he was severely anaemic and nobody was looking out for him (his GP was off sick herself for quite a while) My GP rang me to tell me off, saying I couldn't expect a nurse to explain a FBC to me! I signed the Hippocratic oath in 1969 - before this GP was born - did Fellowship in Immunohaematology, and worked in Haematology for nigh on 40 yrs. What part do I need explained to me? These dopes know nothing about their patients She then noticed his haemoglobin was 77 and her attitude changed abruptly. Funny that! I don't see this GP any more and see my partner's GP as she IS willing to do a good job. Take care of your heart, Enclave - I do hope you have a good doc now, helping you with this. I have all the symtoms of IST, so I went to this same GP who commented on my Holter results, that 3 hrs + of my heart rate being over 130 bpm, was "relatively normal". What the Holter didn't show is that I was gasping for breath and couldn't move for much of that time - oh, very normal!! She mused upon the fact that at 2 a.m. my heart rate shot up to 140+ , so I said sarcastically, that I must have been doing calisthenics in my sleep. I self-medicate now and buy my drugs from Mexico. I expect there are thousands of us with totally inadequate GPs and ,yes, doctors are dangerous - and being paid handsomely too. I suppose complaints to their professional body might help, but until my partner is well again, I fear reprisals. [/QUOTE]
