Of course we do we pay for the service and should get decent caring people who know what they are doing, especially NHS staff they can mean the difference to a life worth living or hell for their patients !

Your post made be cringe MickB..........these incidents are shocking and sometimes hard to comprehend but undoubtedly happen.

I am pleased to hear that your son is improving and receiving the care he needs and deserves.

Re: Doctors - do you trust them?

I hate going to the doctors. I recently went with a painful wrist and the new young doctor kept consulting Google about my problem.. In the end he sent me off with ibuprofen... I'm very unhappy about this & now have to go through it all again by consulting a more senior partner in the hope they will find out what's wrong..

I have a similar story, Carol. I consulted the doc a few years ago with a painful knee - his response - he never even glanced at my knee, never mind examining it. He directed me to a website where I would find knee exercises.

Since then I have had to pay out to consult a private physiotherapist, an osteopath, a podiatrist in an attempt to resolve the problem.

And to make things worse we are made to feel guilty if we complain, yet we pay their wages, if a Tradesman gave such poor service we would not hesitate to let them know.

But then one runs the risk of being struck off your doctor's list. Can't win.

Re: Doctors - do you trust them?

Oh I am going to let them know alright. I'm making my next appointment with the senior partner and will tell her in detail about the young Dr and his Googling ... I don't know whether to be mad or sad!!

Re: Doctors - do you trust them?

Had to change to a local ''conveyor belt'' surgery..

You get 10 mins..no more..

My ''doctor'' has never examined me..he sits and listens...and then prescribes me medicine that fit in with my description..

Self-diagnosis??
