I used to go to my local hospital and it was great. The doctors cared, the nurses asked and the nutrisionist was friendly. Then i got moved to my local GP, which is a PCT and diabetic speacilist clinic... which by the way i do not believe. They have no suppoert system.
I went to see my Doctor today with some very important questions i wanted to ask, how do i get onto the DAFNE Course, is a pump available in this region, my medical certificate has ran out i need a renewal and the opticians gave me a letter to give to you, they say i am bleeding in my right eye and it needs urgent attention.
So yeah i had a list (i've asked her everytime i've seen her before and she never answers the questions, it was only when my work colleagues told me to write everything down and then go back to see her, that i did), i took time off work to see my doctor, first thing she said to me was that she doesnt have much time and i can only talk about one thing and nothing else. she was blunt, rude and didnt even look at me much. So from my list i picked the most serious thing, the bleeding... she took the letter, said "hmm, well you have a eye check up soon, they'll pick up on it then" which by the way it's on 30th June, i hope my eye does not drop out) and shooed me out the office. I'm not complaining about just today, she does this everytime, has no time for me whatsoever and i fell very alone with my diabetes. I miss the support system, the open door feeling. This doctor is very old and my problem is i respect my elders. i'm due to see her next week and I know i'll lose it and end up screaming at her.
What can i do? is there a way of changing back to the hospital?
Has anyone else got a terrible doctor and what have you done?
