So the GP wasn't considering that? I thought the 'buzzword' these days was 'holistic' - sounds like he isn't, huh?
Mum had an enforced change of GP some years ago (family doc retired) and whilst new GP was clearly very able she and he just could not get on .... she decided even if it was 'out of the frying pan' she HAD to make a change .... we've never looked back - and I count my blessings now that it's ME has most of the communication with the doc that both mum and I have have absolute TRUST in him making informed decisions for mum which cover more than just the 'medical' presenting concern.
I guess it's like any other profession or role .... there are good/bad/mediocre and downright excellent people out there ..... let's hope if you do change you get the luck I feel I have had.
Most important, how's mum? And are you feeling any better? Manage any sleep?
Love and hugs, Karen, x
