Lol, really? That's your take from all this, that I might not be English?

You do realise that the average reading and comprehension age in the UK is around 12yo.

How's the weather up there?

Ok. I wasn’t to know you had literacy issues.

Probably better OP to say hands up, the title is wrong, perhaps not your fault if you believed the doctor but as I said earlier, a bit of critical thinking or a quick google yourself would have seen your doctor was wrong, or at least what you thought he said to you was wrong

I would put a message to his secretary, I had to correct a HCP some years ago because he was telling me there was no such thing as 'walking pneumonia', he said he'd never heard of it and was quite smug about it. I had literally just been in a visit with a client who had had this himself and I was incredibly ill and may have also had this.

I emailed afterwards to give him the information.

Bit worrying

Thanks, I did say in my first response that "I'll need to go for a second opinion to clarify what my doctor said."

It seems that my comment was missed by a few.

Of course not, you judged first (multiple times) and asked later.

It came across a little racist tbh. As if those that don't have English as their first language can't possibly have the ability to comprehend the English language properly, the way the 'natives' do.

Well no, a 'second opinion' isnt really necessary and you've been continually arguing since anyway on the thread!

Perhaps clarify what he said, if thats what you mean

how utterly utterly cringe for you.

You moved your postion three times. Started off saying if you’ve ever had them you can never have a pet scan. You then moved it to if you’re on them you can’t have them. Which is totally different. You then moved it again to “potentially” an issue, different again.

im Not even going to dignify your racism claims, but will say your critical thinking issues are clearly much bigger than your literacy issues.

Why was your post removed if it didn't contain those subtle undertones of racism that I pointed out 🤔

Anyway cringe away, you and your fancy English literacy skills win. I'm clearly too tHicK to discuss anything with you so I'll let you have this one 😉

I assume as you reported it and made an accusation.

Posts being removed arent indicative of anything to be honest, Ive had posts vanish on threads Ive made where I havent reported them and I have no idea why MN would have thought they were inappropriate

I started a thread about it, threads are barely legible these days with all the deletions.

Ive also had posts of mine removed which are inoffensive, innocuous. Challenging yes, but nothing more

This was a problem that I didn't know existed.

If you've ever taken WLI's you are never allowed to have a PET scan in the future. I was told this during a consultation today as I have these scans often and not being able to have one in the future would be a massive risk for me. No WLI for me then sighs

Sorry this is misleading information

YOU CAN have a PET scan it’s just the readings will need to be finely interpreted and may require extra due diligence

why would you say that ???

it’s not helpful

Wow so much aggression on here!

How am I to know that my doctor is spreading misinformation? When they tell you something like this, why wouldn't I take their word for it? I had no reason to doubt them.

I was told it's a massive new issue they are facing as a certain % of the population are now on them and they can't have pet scans as a result. It's not exactly far reached to believe otherwise.

Common sense would tell me to listen to my doctor as they are the ones with the medical knowledge.

I'm not trying to scare anyone, I wanted to make others (like me) aware, that this was a potential issue. It obviously is a real issue or a doctor would not have mentioned it. I'm glad I spoke with my doctor first rather than having a consultation with an online pharmacy or similar. If I had not known this I could have faced problems in the future. Obviously this will vary between everyone because of course we are all different and not everyone will need a PET scan in the future.

@InfoSecInTheCity Thanks for the clarification. It seems my doctor wasn't talking bull the way others are making out and there is the potential for issues with WLI and PET scans.

The Drs do have the medical training. When you re having a conversation with one they tell you bout your health and problems.

You, it appears, have a medical condition that necessitates PET scans.

WLI can interfere with the scan so for you, with your medical condition, are told not to take them.

That is a Dr talking to you about your health, thinking it applies to everyone is, frankly, ridiculous.

Pretty sure this has already been clarified multiple times on this post though...

What has been clarified is that either the OP was given misleading information or she misunderstood the information she was given.

WLIs do not exclude PET scans.
