Arrived nice and early and was called in early, the nurse said "hi Mr. ______."
"Your here for your flu jab because you're diabetic!"
I replied, "i am not diabetic!"
"But your on my screen as diabetic" she paused, " what does other mean?"
And so on, until I was giving her a lesson on how to treat Hypoglycaemia.
It was an appointment that lasted twenty minutes, ten over my time limit!
Once again I am astounded at the lack of knowledge, not just about my condition, but about some of our health practitioners. She believed that low fat yoghurt was good for you!
I have made an appointment with my new GP (again) to enlighten him on my weirdness!
