Just been to a meeting with the head doctor of the practice. He said my symptoms were too hard to manage and anybody who walks into the surgery with symptoms they dont understand they are automatically diagnosed as a psychiatric patient and theres nothing you can do about it. He said the NHS is now a farce because all the doctors do is protect themselves and their own jobs and only treat the basice stuff. He said that there were 12 other patients like me and basically we are waste material, they dont like to send us to specialists in case theyve got it wrong and he had to protect himself and his own mortgage. He said he would reccommend behavioural therapy to help me deal with my illness and I said no thanks. I said I dont think you have the right to diagnose me as psychiatric and he said we can do what we want. He said all doctors in America were not interested in diagnosing their patients any more as long as they were making loads of money. So I said there must be some caring doctors out there and he said no theres not. So I said what your telling me is to have no faith, you dont care about me and if people struggling with severe illnesses killed theirselves you wouldnt care. He again said that wasnt his problem he has to just protect himself and his job. He also said that if they decide they cant manage my illness which is obvious as he didnt even want to discuss it they would just strike me off the practice. I said that doesnt give people much faith in the human race any more what youre saying and he just said its all about money. I said well it was a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with a medical illness and he said that makes no difference. Sums it all up He also said not to look onto the internet as any advice given was by quacks and all oof us who believe it are gullible and psychotic
