I've been to two appointments with my daughter recently and both times I've been asked tons of questions about my lifestyle /risk factors etc. I'm just wondering if this is normal?
The first time was a trip to a&e, so kind of understandable (leg injury from falling). Every member of staff we saw asked again and again what happened and kept picking out details and going over them.
Today, I took her to see the GP because she's Been complaining of tiredness for a couple of months now and been a bit off energy wise. The Dr asked me loads of stuff about stress at home, finances, my relationship with her dad / my partner and even if she had spent time lately with anyone she doesn't usually spend time with - anyone who may have made her do anything she didn't want to.
at the time I thought 'hmmm, well I suppose they have to ask eveyone these questions'.
However, I've just spoken to my mother on the phone (who regularly takes my neices to their spots) and she says that she has never been asked these kinds of questions and neither has my sister!
Is it just me? Is there something about me or my child that screams 'ABUSE'? I'm baffled. The only thing that could give rise to any concern, possibly, is that I have a history of depression and self-harm (many years ago -in my teens and early 20's) and I'm not married to my partner / Childs father.
So are these questions normal, or is it just me?
