Alright SBT.
Last night was 'admit any old shit Monday'.

We had in -
Diabetic teenage shitcunt on their third DKA in six months who needn't have come in had the A and E shitcunts git their arses into gear.
Brittle asthmatic who we needn't have admitted had the A and E shitcunts, etc
A perfectly fine 80 year old for 'post-op monitoring'. That's recovery's job, tell the last cunts that they're paid to be on call for a reason.
And a 'ventilator detox'.

my doctor wants me on drugs
last two things I was on (some anti-GORD thing and diazepam for locked-up back muscle), he was all like 'oh, keep taking them as long as you need to, here's a repeat prescription, come back when you need another'
( drimble he'd been white, he'd been black, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:15, Reply)

I have prescription diazepam for back problems
I sometimes take it for fun, it's quite nice.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:16, Reply)

I have diazepam to use if I feel I am going to have a seizure. I carry some with me all the time, just in case.

you get auras right?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:22, Reply)

Yes. They differ considerably for different people. For me, I get pins & needles down the right side of my face and a sudden aversion to feeling hot.
Excess fatigue is the biggest trigger for me.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:25, Reply)

You haven't fitted for a long time I think you said?

(DBT became a fruitarian on, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:27, Reply)

I was admitted to the Royal Free last summer when I collapsed - turns out that wasn't a fit but some type of food poisoning, but the nature of the collapse made people initially think it was a fit.
I haven't had a full on Grand Mal tonic clonic for several years. Thankfully.

That's certainly more dangerous, I'm allowed to drive as things are under control & I get auras, I wouldn't want to be a passenger with your colleague.

he has to surrender his licence after having a seizure

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:34, Reply)

Yes. I did when I was first diagnosed - need to be 12 months seizure free before you can apply to get it back.
Even then it's only a three year license that then has to be reviewed. Which makes sense.

Is it any worse to tell a fib to a GP when most of them aren't proper Doctors but they tell you they are?

I've never met a GP with a PhD.

I know a nurse consultant with a PhD in cardiology.
I'm not quite sure how that sort of job works.

(DBT became a fruitarian on, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:33, Reply)

yeah, so a specialist rather than a GP

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:38, Reply)

If that's how you want to see it, yes.
General Practice is just that...one needs a good general grounding of everything. I certainly wouldn't play down my experience or qualifications.
(DBT became a fruitarian on, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:42, Reply)

it's a wide but shallow pool of knowledge

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:45, Reply)

can't you see how neccesary that is?
if everyone was a specialist, who would look at my flaky balls and deicde whether it needed a bit of cream or a specialist treatment? or look at that guys feet and decide if it's a posture thing or a serious spinal problem or whatever.
GP's are an important part of the process. Someof them are probably shit at their job, but luckily, you don't have to keep going back to the same GP.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:47, Reply)

of course I realise that
My own experience (for what it's worth; anecdotal evidence is worth very little) is that whenit comes to serious conditions they get it consistently wrong to the extent that the the problem is exacerbated.

It's like giving an OPS transfer to a mortgage case checker.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 18 Feb 2014, 19:51, Reply)

well, in my experience, i've reached relevant specialists in a reasonable time frame,
so basically, you hate GP's because you have a shit GP.
