Is this cheeky

[noddyholder]

Would you question your doctor/consultant ifmyou were nearly 100% sure they were wrong? I am sure they are making a mistake with my treatment and I want to ask for another appointment to challenge this Can I just ring up and ask for an extra appointment even though I saw him Monday? Not due to see him again until oct and then it could be too late

You are always entitled to a second opinion and drs r wrong. All the time! If you have doubts then go back if it saves you taking medication you don't need or won't help then that's a good thing :)

yy just ask for second opinion - i have and its no problem

I think I will they made a mistake before and it was serious for me and it looks like the same again!

I would now OP. I had a skin complaint seen gp, she didnt know, referred to specialist for biopsy, took weeks. In the meantime went to see another gp from my practice about something unrelated he took one look at me and said oh I think you have XX heres some tablets 1 a day for a week cleared up no problem i had waited for months looking like a scabby witch woman, if only id seen other gp in first place.....

I am going to ring tomorrow thanks x

Not cheeky, nobody's perfect. As long as you are polite about it and explain your concern it's fine. I've pulled many a GP up on incorrect prescribing for general stuff in combination with my RA drugs. I've had it for 14yrs and am an expert on the intricacies of my drug regime , the've probably got no other patients on their list of thousands, with those drugs. I often get things double checked after all it's my health we're screwing with.

Definitely get a second opinion if you're not happy.

I did with ds1 as I wasn't happy being told he 'just has a virus'
Got a second opinion and he was diagnosed with blood poisoning!!

Always trust your instinct. Good luck!
