Yeah Peter, I’m not too keen on most doctors myself, I tend to avoid, or save up my various medical ailments, then hit them with a long list, all at once it’s been about nearly 3 years since I saw a cardiologist, she detected some sort of murmur, promised a follow up appointment, I’m still waiting… TBVH, you lose trust in the system, because of government cut backs on health spending, the whole Health System isn’t fit for purpose, it’s overwhelmed & understaffed, trying to just see a doctor, is a major problem, face to face, where I live, is almost impossible… And yes, I can go to a hospital A&E, and be seen fairly quickly, but I prefer to leave that for actual medical emergencies… For instance , approximately 6 weeks ago, I had a very large boil on the back of my neck, it was very painful, and creating sleep disturbance, could I get a referral to get it lanced, no chance, and after about a week of trying, I gave up, and did the hot compresses myself, thankfully it eventually burst, and I got it drained over a 2 week period… I reiterate, sometimes we have no other choice but to self medicate!!! my apologies for waffling on Cheers Kev
