[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2129961, member: 451727"] Hi there, don't be too concerned about the Consultant's (dismissive?) attitude to the mental state, he's there to discuss diabetes and like any Consultant will not stray into another's area unless it's immediately critical, otherwise he would have to do something specifically about that right there and then. Your normal GP is probably better placed to discuss such things and refer you to an actual specialist if necessary. When my Mum was in hospital for a variety of things, we would always introduce another medical aspect into conversations with the Ward Consultant and EVERY time they would take a big step back and steer us onto the specific thing they were there for. x [/QUOTE]
