Doctor's surgery

[Mrs Reject]

Dr's surgery was fun this morning, first I had to get an appointment and beg and plead with nazi receptionist and try and persuade her I'm not a work shy idle gob****e and really need to see a doctor. Then go into the Dr's surgery. Our doctors always look well grim and you automatically feel you have to doff your cap and look at the floor when you go in.
Then they scoff at your ailment because you are not actually collapsed on the floor or near death and you slink out of the surgery feeling like a work shy idle gob****e who's only gone to the doctor's to get signed off and be a burden to decent taxpayers!
I'm not going again! :(

Awwwwwwwwwwwww love!

they are a bit freaky in that surgery. I've never had no probs with the Quack me'sen tho (I think we've got a different GP). Parking there on the other hand is a bit of a pain! And the receptionists are uselarse as they keep you waiting for bloomin' ages.

am PM'ing you babes!

after 3 blood tests in 4 weeks my GP sent me to see a specialist and what did he do? sent me for two more blood tests! They seem to be content to take blood test after blood test till they get the result they're looking for....never mind about treating me for anything! gawd


I have no faith in doctors :(

My GP tried to fob me off by telling me to get a new doctor cos Im now "out of area" that being said I have been registerd with the same practice for 44 years and still live in the same town! :eek: WHY? because he`s made a feck up and doesnt want to take the ****! He was supposed to have me in for an operation thee years ago and Im still waiting! :( hahaha! the caring proffesion! :p PS. Id love to be a work shy gobs1te! That would rool!

We have a brilliant herbalist near us, her shop is in Alfriston just up the road. I'm using her marigold face cream as mine no longer works. We also bought some super strength dried catnip and had an amusing evening watching the cats playing silly buggers all over the house (well you need something to amuse you when there is no tv in the house!). They do brilliant menopause stuff too - don't need it yet but I know it's there, black cohosh and all that sort of stuff :) They have loads of jars of dried herbs and flowers so you can make your own remedies up too. i think me and Mitch will be going there more often. She does evening classes too. :)

I had to pick up a prescription for my sister in one of the rougher areas of Edinburgh.The reception desk should have had sandbags & barbed wire!A guy staggered in with his head split open & they told him he couldnt see a doctor as he didn't have an appointment!They told him to go to the hospital 3 miles away.

I went to the quack's about 12 years ago with sciatica,could hardly walk.The first doc I saw was fine,told me what was wrong,signed me off for two weeks and told me to make an appointment for then.Saw a different doc who said "you're a bit overweight" and signed me back to work,even though I could still barely walk.Went back to work,was in agony for a couple days,back to the quack's and saw the first doc who promptly signed me off for another fortnight and said to make another appointment.Still with me?SO I went back,saw the second doc who told me "I see you've not lost any weight then,we'll get you back to work."I asked him how I'd do that as I was still having serious difficulty walking never mind taking exercise and he said "that's easy,just eat less!" My reply was unprintable!I was off work for 5 months,and it was only last year that I finally discovered the cause of the problem.Needless to say I've never seen that clown again.(He wasn't exactly a stranger to a fish supper himself!Git :mad: )

Good lord, and I thought it was just me.

Despite being a (now) non-smoking, little drinking, bunny-hugging vegetarian with very admirable blood pressure every medical ailment that I ever deem enough to grace a doctor's surgery with is usually met with 'have you considered your weight..?' considered it? I've bloody considered it since I was 8 years old FFS!. 'I'm sorry that lump of concrete has fallen on your head Ms. Demeanour, but perhaps you couldn't run away fast enough... perhaps if you were a bit fitter...'

Right, so I'm suppose to change all that overnight, right? and then comes the condescending chat about everything including the possibility of reducing one's alcohol intake (?? um... you don't know me, do you, Doctor?) and the usually patronising claptrap. Another doc suggested Atkins (Errrr... doctor, please read your notes matey...)

I can usually get away during the day for docs appointments (work's quite good like that), turn up on bike, and therefore am also obviously a work-shy sausage-roll eating moron not deserving of their attention... (?? Errrr?)

In my Doc's car park is one of the original 'Two Towers'. The Orcs work on reception.

Orcs? You were lucky! I've got Saruman as my GP:D My food of choice is the donut so I'm a donut gobbling moron. Bollocks to them all is what I say. I think I'll just stay at home and die rather than go back there. Saruman did a throat swab really roughly this morning and I nearly barfed in his face - now that would have been funny :D

[BikerGran]

We must have the best Dr's surgery with the best Drs and the best receptionists in the country!

The receps are helpful. They like being helpful! They're really great!

The Drs are sensible - and human! When I went back to my GP and told her what had happened at the hospital, ie they said the leg was mending ok etc, she said "They're bul****ting you! At your next appointment, refuse to leave until you've seen the consultant" If I hadn't done what she said I'd still have a broken leg! (Well I have still etc etc, but at least something has been done about it)

[blackhack]

Smear everything with a thick coating of germolene and everything will be ok....

Well thats what my gran used to do.......

Why the hell was your face not working, bloody sausage roll eating, work dodging face you've got there!!!

PS My surgery is a mixed bag, broke my big toe a few years back (split the bone right down the middle). Foot too swollen to get boots/shoes on. Doc says go back to work, I worked when I broke my toe playing rugby. I politely point out that he can work sat on his fat arse, whereas I have to stand 10-12 hours welding in steel toecapped boots. In the end i saw the woman doctor who sent me for x-rays and gave me 5 weeks of (in the summer, so I could drift around on the Virago on the state's expense). Work-shy, not me, I fecking terrified of it.......
