Thank you @Krystyna23040@gennepher That is an absolutely horrible thing to have happened. I do hope you feel a bit better very soon.
Best wishes, hoping all goes wellWasn't expecting this today. Just spoke to my GP about my lung function results and I'm now booked for a covid test at midday and being put back on steroids and anti-b's.
That's enough excitement for one day thank you
The nurse appointments this afternoon didn’t quite go as planned. One nurse was now doing asthma review, diabetic review, hypertension review, and pessary change. She didn’t bother with the asthma review, took blood pressure and pulse and told me it was skipping a beat every now and then but as long as I had no palpitations I had nothing to worry about. She didn’t do any of the diabetic checks. But when she tried to arrange for me to have a blood test her computer wanted to send me 50 miles away. I said I didn’t think so. Finally I got one nearer.
The problems started when she tried to take my pessary out. She panicked because she couldn’t get it out. It wasn’t until she sank to the floor in a panic attack that I realised her gloves were very bloody. She was hyperventilating. I am lying on the couch (obviously), talking to her in a calm voice. I can feel the blood flow. You’ll have to drive to A&E she said. Get a doctor I said (this is at my doctor’s surgery). You don’t understand, she replied, there are no doctors here. No doctors? You need to drive to A&E, she said again. There was no way I was capable of even getting off the couch, let alone drive the distance to A&E.
Go and ring for a doctor from another surgery I told her. She got off the floor and I could hear her panicked voice talking on the phone. Another doctor came pretty quickly from another surgery. He used a pair of scissors to cut the pessary away because it was tangled with my bladder or something by now. And he put the new one in.
I am lying down in bed at home now. Heat pads on my tummy. Paracetamol for pain. Still bleeding, but it is easing.
It is not Covid-19 that is going to kill me but a bl••dy pessary change.
Apparently this nurse and another nurse are literally running my doctor’s surgery which has no doctors. And there won’t be any flu jabs in the near future, at this surgery, because there are only these two nurses to do it.
The NHS is totally down the pan.
Thank you @alf_JosiahTime to change doctors. Hoping for a swift recovery for you.
You'll have to try a novel, Harrybeau.Just clearing up the debris it's the warfarin always a risk...really tired drained but feeling better than yesterday thanks...going to rest up this afternoon a Netflix day I think.

I didn't know these 21st century BMW's had autopilot. I must be getting old fashioned in my view.That's a good average speed you managed, put your feet up.
How are you @Alien Aspie
Are you okay?
Best wishes, hoping all goes well
hugs and fingers crossed for a good outcome.
If that regime appeared in a Jason Fung book it would be the new orthodoxy on here@ianpspurs on the subject of soups and shakes I have just read the following quote from Dr Aseem Malhotra - who always talks a lot of sense. "to imply that ultra-processed low calorie soup and shakes is the best solution to reverse Type 2 Diabetes is misleading at best and deceitful at worst. Only a minority can tolerate such a restrictive diet beyond a few days".
Everything about that post is distressing just to read never mind be subjected to. I pray you make a full and speedy recovery.

oohh, @gennepher what an AWFUL day you had.
SO glad you are back home and Nurse Popeye will be on the case..
and how worrying "the doctors have left the building"....
wonder in how many surgeries... THIS is the case..
take care, .xx
It is no way to run a service, "flying by the seat of their pants!"I just don't understand @jjraak how this can be allowed to be.
I will be writing to my MP. An online friend is helping me compose a letter tomorrow.
How come this sudden deterioration in so much?
I know I was in a bad serious position this afternoon (which will take me a bit to recuperate from), but I could and still can, feel for that nurse who went to pieces because she had no medical back up on site.
