Yes, at first I thought that’s what it was. But looking at my overall performance this week I think the new drug is at the root of it. Depressing because I had been feeling so well. It confirms my suspicion that doctors are the problem. Not really, but? 😂 - ThreadSky

I have this belief that if Doctors can see your green knee or whatever then they can usually sort out what to do and fix it…More nebulous things, not feeling well, wobbly for no reason etc they find much harder so offer pills…. I think in lots of cases rest is the answer- not always of course, but..

In France, unless you're really ill, you only go to the doctor when you have the following month free to accommodate all the ensuing medical appointments.

(I'm not knocking the FR health service's commitment to keeping its population healthy, tho - it's superb)

I had to go for a series of heart tests (5 in total + returning a 24 hour monitor the next day), an hour's drive away, over the space of 6 weeks. There was absolutely no logical reason that I could see why they couldn't have been done in two. (No problems found btw).

I’m glad for you, but yes, the process itself can increase stress.

Oh, I’m sure that, in the main, the best way to stay well is to stay away from doctors
There are times, of course, but …
Medications/side effects/combined effects 😱

To be fair, something needed doing. Was being done. I would have preferred to wait and discuss it with my own doctor, but under the circumstances it was probably the right call.

I used to work with a consultant epidemiologist in hypertension who ended all his blood pressure lectures to GPs with the words “and stay away from doctors”!

Yes. My BP was up as well. He had a good moan and I wanted to tell him that stripping off in front of a doctor young enough to be my grandson probably didn’t help!
