[QUOTE="jlarsson, post: 1782691, member: 470208"] If they exclusively get to see people who don't specialise in it, it makes a bit more sense, but still doesn't(I think) excuse calling them idiots or incompetent as they need to know and stay up to date(medical knowledge changes rapidly, it is literally impossible to stay on top of all of it) on so many different things that it is impossible to know a lot in many different areas, expecting them to treat you to perfection is unreasonable. You are not the centre of the universe, whoever is treating you(or according to you, not treating you) may well have different things that they think are much more important. Or they may simply have a bad day, as most people should be able to relate to really but may lack the empathy to get. Being asked not to test is blatantly just a cost cutting move from the NHS whether they would admit it or not, much like how people don't get Libre sensors because they're expensive despite it making a huge impact in management. (not meant as a personal attack on you [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] , you just happened to write the most quotable post) [/QUOTE]
