Is this doc losing his marbles?

[egypt]

So, my sister goes to the doctors, having felt ill for a few days with bad head, aching all over, extremely tired, anything she eats just goes through her; she has lost 4lbs in a few days, even her skin is sore. She cried in the surgery as she was feeling really ill and he said.......

you are depressed.

Erm - she has wine flu right?

or even swine?!

I wouldn't say it was necessarily swine flu but it certainly doesn't sound like depression. I'd be looking for a second opinion if I were her.

Yeah me too, although wine flu sounds much better

I think the doc was transferring his own feelings onto your sis - how very dare she cry in his surgery!

Sounds more like a virus, whether or not wine swine flu.

Dozy git.

Poor mite feels so deflated, and so incredibly ill she cannot being herself to go again!

grrr

Are you nearby? Could you take her in and give them hell support her? Or help her call the out-of-hours doctor?

ring NHS direct - they might be useful.

I'm in Singapore, she's in the UK. Mum is nearby.

Good idea about NHS Direct. Will tell mum.
