Would you give feedback on a registrar GP?

[MrAlbertoFrog]

We have a registrar at our GP practice and she has done a few things that were not dangerous but I don't think an experienced GP would have done them.

Examples are: I recently miscarried at 11 weeks, for various reasons the pregnancy was a huge surprise and a worry and I had at one point visited another GP at the practice to discuss termination options but then decided that we could cope with another baby, only to find the baby wasn't growing properly and ending up having a series of early scans and being in limbo for a few weeks before I finally miscarried.
I went to see Registrar GP because a week after the miscarriage (i.e. had stopped bleeding) I was still feeling very ill and had a positive home pg test. I was concerned that I may have retained products.

1. she put the blood pressure cuff on me, pressed the start button and as the machine was measuring, asked me 'how do you feel about losing the baby?' - my bp was through the roof! I then had to stay in her room having repeated bps taken until it returned to normal.
2. she took a blood for hcg testing. When I returned a week later to get the result she said that it was positive but 'not enough to sustain a normal pregnancy' - now - that was never the question - I wanted to know if I had retained tissue from the miscarriage (later that day I passed tissue so I know now that I had).

Another visit, I went to see her as I had had very bad headaches for several days and blurring vision. She did a neuro type exam (walk in a straight line etc) but then said that I was dehydrated because I drink a lot of tea (I mentioned that I was continually thirsty and I always have a drink of tea in my hand during the day). I told her that I thought that tea would give a net gain of liquid since although it is a diuretic it is taken in large volumes but she insisted it was a net loss. I have looked at a number of sources and they say that, drunk the way it is served in the UK, tea does not dehydrate you. More worrying my dmum then pointed out that I had symptoms of diabetes (she has diabetes) and maybe I should have had a fasting blood sugar test at least.

So, should I be feeding back to the surgery or is it all so petty that I should just make an appointment to see one of the others re: the headaches/vision and try not to see her in future?

I've worked in a surgery with many registrars over the years. If you have concerns you should absolutely feed back to their trainer GP and they will thank you for it. Registrars and Trainers have one-to-one sessions every week which should cover things like this.

GP Registrars are still in training and they need to know if something isn't right. One day you may see them as a qualified GP, better to learn from their mistakes now than make them all over again years later.

Thanks for answering Pasha. I'm thinking of ringing the surgery and trying very politely to ask if I can talk to whoever the Trainer GP is and leave it up to them as to whether they think it's worth going over with her or not.

Oh please do it. Any good Trainer and any good Registrar will want to know what weaknesses to work on.

As a GP trainer I'd completely agree with what Pascha said (sitting here hoping fervently it's not one of my registrars)
