Well yesterday i went to the doc expecting to get some answers as it wasnt the GP i have been seein so of course i was nervous about seein a different doc, i went in an spoke to him, it was almost as if he wanted to get rid of me he didnt really listen to wot i was sayin. he said he would check my blood pressure an check my temp, did he do these NO!!! i felt worthless all he said was if i get pains go to hospital.
all in all i was down. we got home dad went off to work, and my step brother was at it again, so i ended up puttin the dog in my room cos i was scared.
once again i had a temp it was 39 somethin. so i feel crappy.
well thats all im writin today just wanted to update u with the doc.
hope everyone is well
dee

Hi Hunni,

That doc sounds just like mine. They only listen to what they want to hear, NOT want you need to say. All my doc says is ` I`m outta control`. No meaning for it, just outta control. I would make another appointment to see my usual doc and try explain what happened with the other doc.
As I was told the other week, Change docs if your NOT happy with your current one. As hard as it may be, but, it may be worth finding another one.

Take Care

That doctor sounds like a real prick. Maybe go back to your normal GP if you have a good relationship with them? If your temp is that bad and you have chest pains maybe you should go to hospital, or go to a walk in GP clinic...

I hope your brother behaves himself, and be safe.

That sounds like a useless doctor and he needs to be reported. Go to the ED as it sounds like you are very sick and they can treat you - call an ambulance if the pain gets really bad.

Go Hunni!!!

Hi Dee,

That doctor sucked big time. I understand it's difficult to confront people, especially with all you're dealing with, but next time you see a gp and they say they'll take your blood pressure and temperature and you find you're getting pushed out the door and nothing has been done, try and stand up for yourself and remind them they haven't done what they said.

I know it's hard to do, but you must look after you and if that means kicking a doctor up the @rse then do it!!

Get your Dad to take you to hospital ED and don't let them kick you out until you have some answers.

Take care,
