To think this gp was very dismissive and slightly inappropriate?

NC. DD was a victim of rape when she was 15 (now 21). She had counselling after and developed ptsd and has been on sertraline for the past 2 or so years. Last week, she noticed a new lump on her breast. Today, she has an appointment with the gp (I went with her as she asked me to) he examined breast and felt the lump (about 30 seconds) said it was unlikely to be anything sinister and probably caused by stress of DD passed trauma???? DD didn't even mention that to him but guessing he read her medical records and saw she accessed counselling and of course the antidepressants. DD said to him she has never felt more content with herself and at uni etc and feels settled. To which he responded it well may be subconscious and if it doesn't settle down in a few weeks to come back???

Good. Well done for following up. Glad you got it sorted.

Please please take your daughter back and get a different doctor. Something similar happened to a dear friend of mine. She was told to go back in three months if the lump was still there and she had advanced breast cancer by then. She was 32. My daughter developed a lump near her nipple. The gp sent her to the consultant who said it was not cancerous but he still wanted to remove it because it could become cancerous. My daughter was 15 at the time.

Thank you for the update.

Pleased to hear she’s been seen and hopefully sorted. She should be followed up by your GP if things don’t fully settle with the antibiotics.
If you feel able to please feedback to the Practice Manager about this. If it were my practice I would absolutely want to know, including that it wasn’t made clear this person was not a GP.

Poor DD, hope she feels better soon!

Also glad the Dr was not happy with the previous advice - was it a Dr at the same practice?

She really should . That was inappropriate and they can't sort out poorly performing ACPs without PALS complaints
