BBC Doctors - Return of the Mac

[MadisonAvenue]

New thread

Ooh is there going to be a big showdown between Graham and Luca? Will Zara have to intervene?

I think Talullah's mother is the issue.

I think something will happen and Kirsty will accept the new job.

She will- and unlike the real world, won't need to work any notice .

Luca is not going to do himself any favours.

Ha! well done Bear- Graham will hate that,

Brilliant move Bear 👏 Graham’s face😂

graham is awful, but it was a dick move re the ‘she’ pronoun! Bear is right, Luca should’ve just gone to him.
Liked the story today though. The mum was ridiculous though!

Yay! An Al episode- although these podcast episodes are all a bit odd.

Before and after the birth- pristine unused kitchen v messy kitchen

Does the mother live in her kitchen ? She realises her phone is a mobile?

I like spotting the Robot in Al's house.

Oh dear- the baby was on the floor with the glass.

Don't think much of this 'doctor'.

Epilepsy?

Brain tumour?

Another filler episode starring Al, this time.

They are sticking to their tried and tested episode formulas Mishios- even with limited time left.

Oh, she died.

Al needs a spin off show a la House MD.

Well that was depressing

Wasn’t it just. But the dr she saw didn’t think of even blood and urine checks. I’ve thought for years the ‘ don’t look for zebras’ in British medicine is a failure. Medical appointments in Europe for example are completely different. Every test is done and usually immediately.

My friend had miscarriages into high double figures. The NHS couldn't find anything wrong with her. She emigrated to a country with private medical insurance as standard, and was promptly diagnosed with Coeliac disease. After she cut out gluten, she went on to carry healthy, to term pregnancies.

My bastard GPs won't let you talk about more than one or at the most, 2 things bothering you at a time. So no way they would allow themselves to hear about more than one symptom in order to get the full picture of a potential condition.

That was a sad episode. Love Al but don’t usually think much of the Doctective episodes but that one was so well done.

Hope we see more of Ian Midlane once this ends.

I'm still holding out for him becoming Doctor Who

That was well done & sobering. It’s so true that Drs are too quick to dismiss symptoms as stress, menopause, anxiety, viral when they could be something serious.
I had concerning symptoms nearly 5 years ago when it looks like it’s prob epilepsy. Still waiting for full results of scan I had in June (thankfully not a brain tumour, I know that at least).,
