Hi everyone, this my first topic although having read the site for the last few weeks everytime something has got to me i have wanted to post it on here! you all so full of idea's and support!
I am 18 weeks pregnant (maybe should be in pregnancy section?) and have just been to a routine appointment at the doctors for a check up.
I am new to the surgery and have never met this doctor before, i asked the recepitionist where to go and she just told me to sit down, so when the buzzer went i had no idea where to go, another woman in the waiting room showed me. I knocked on the door and went in and the doctor barely acknowledged my existance. She then started reading my notes and after what felt like 5 minutes told me i was 18 weeks pregnant, no shit! i could have told her that!
She told me i was o neg (i know) and checked blood pressure (she didnt pass comment) and checked for swelling, again with no comment. She then started writing things (not in my notes) and i thought, well if she isnt going to ask me how i am i better start talking myself! I said that i was worried by how many mouth ulcers i have had to which she asked if i ate fresh fruit and veg and i said "yes, loads" and nothing more was said. Then i said that i had also been getting loads of sore throats and she told me to gargle with salt water. I already knew that. So she gave me remedies i already knew to problems that i wanted her to diagnose or at least check out. She didnt even look at my throat or the ulcers. It has really been hurting
Why is it everytime i come away from the doctors i feel they are useless and crap?? I realise they must hear the same complaints over and over but i always feel you would have to have kidney failure before they would bother to have a look at them (just for example) Moan over
