Same no way I would be allowed to do this.

Same !

Yeah and when it causes another problem its another appointment that you cannot get :(

Same!

I should imagine with a camera crew present your Dr would be great too.

Sickening Stay away!!!! 👍🏽

They generally as you what you are wanting to be done sbout your problems, just so they get an idea of what to aim for when offering solutions. If theres multiple options to help, then they could offer anything at all, whereas it eould be easier if the patient helps guide them down the right path of options (this happened when i brought up my anxiety with my gp for example). But also yes, I completely get the feeling of disbelief and rushing when you tell a dr about your problems. If only the quality of doctors and gps were all consistently as helpful as the ones in this episode!

didn’t tho did you

I once when into a walk-in clinic, a GP on duty that day never heard of the name of my health condition and of specific medications. On another occasion, other GP told me he never heard of lavender (herb with calming properties for anxiety), and asked me what lavender is. And on third occasion, yet another GP left unattended my acute ear inflammation, when I asked to address it and give me some drops ointment for it. He said inflammation will pass by itself. I went to another GP and she was shocked it was not addressed, she said I could lose my hearing if not treated. I wonder if those GP are actually doctors …. or should be doctors

Mine normally says one bigger problem but then if we have a minor thing that isn't really worth making an separate appointment for we can get away with talking about that too. Her list was taking the piss a little though.

So they should, 2 problems max! Doctors only have 10 mins to try and treat you, by having a long list means they have to rush. It's not fair to everyone else waiting for an appointment as their's would probably be pushed back.

@@jessroche4677 some patients have complex health concerns, including myself. My Dr. knows that and I’m booked in for the appropriate time. Certainly not to take other’s time away, I’m far from that type of person.

@@jessroche4677 no they don’t. they used to have a time limit but they don’t anymore so appointments can now be longer than 10 mins

Yes. Western medicine virtually doesn’t address any prevention or early diagnosis. They wait until it becomes chronic and can no longer be treated, then they address symptoms usually with painkillers. Appalling state of medicine

I’ve never heard of anyone self-referring for it here, so I don’t think it’s very common to get referred that way Most doctors will usually only let you discuss one or possibly two things in an appointment as well

Consider yourselves blessed. Weeeeeeee!!!!!

I research and try to solve the problem myself Dr ONLY as a last resort.

Absolutely no pharma unless desperate Take care of ourselves nutritionally and physically Usually works.

If you get really sick in the US, even with the BEST insurance You’ll be in bankruptcy in two minutes Literally file bankruptcy to save your home. That’s our reality.

it's free here

healthcare is free in the uk

....Yes. I know the NHS is "free" in the UK. Unless of course you use a private doctor... I am not in the UK.

@@alexkavanagh6513 ...I wish you got over the idea that treatment here in the UK is 'free'. It's free from the actual point of service, but a tax payment or 'contribution' is made on everyone's weekly or monthly earnings that covers any existing or future NHS treatment.
