I consider myself pretty clued up on medical stuff but this has foxed me...
my mum's GP suggests sending her to a "physician" to try to get to the bottom of her health issues , which GP can't fathom. (Post major op for stroke etc)
The appt has been put on hold for a while, but I have never heard the term physician, as to me it means a doctor- not a specialist- my mum thinks it means adr who has loads of specialisms- I think it means a general dogsboddy, one up from a GP. UNLESS he means a "physician for the elderly " ie specialist in geriatrics.
I live a long way from my mum so can't go along to the GP with her, but I think she is being fobbed off as she is 82.
anyone know what he means?
