Thank God for doctors! I went to see one on Monday and If it wasnt for her I would never have realised that my symptoms are purely pyschological!
waiting room time: 35mins
consultation 7mins (1st time there)
one glance at me really,one quick glance,over the top of her glasses you know and the rest of the time looking at some paper on her desk,no blood pressure check no nothing...
cost :50 euros "see you now...next!"
What a waste of time ,money and energy,then she suggested I get a mercury level blood test.
When I explained I could not fast for too long (for blood tests,because I get low blood sugar),she asked if I was diabetic,I said no,she said you'll be fine just eat a cracker!before the test.
She gave me a blood test sheet to take to hospital to get the tests and did not mark the tests I'd requested and so I ticked the boxes myself.
To the untrained I look fine most of the time but it took me most of a day to rest up
before I went and the next day exhausted after it.That's just not good enough.
another thing when I got to docs there were 3 people before me so that works out as 200euros for 42mins work,does that sound nuts to anyone else?
Oh yeah and as usual (doctors always ask me if I'd like to "go on the pill" she offered me the contraceptive pill
what the
