I have been thinking, I'm not very happy with my doctors response at my last appointment, 'your just a bit worried' is not really good enough considering how much my symptoms have affected/ are affecting me.
I feel really mean about this, because I have such a lovely doctor who has done so much for me and is really good at her job, I just think that this time she has got it totally wrong. I'm thinking of maybe booking an appointment on her day off, so I 'accidently' end up seeing a different doctor. There is another doctor at my surgery who I have seen a couple of times and he is really nice I got on very well with him. So I'm thinking that if I can get an appointment with him (once I've worked around my mum that is) I can explain all my symptoms to him and see what he thinks? Anyone think this is a good idea?

It's not a bad idea to see a different doctor you just need to be very very careful that you do not come across as questioning the other doctors diagnoses. Xxx

Definitey not a bad idea IceLolly

Thanks zaf x
Buttercup, that's what I thought. I know there is only a professional relationship between me and my doctor but I still feel really mean about doing it because I really like her. I could just say to the doctor that I have come back because my symptoms are not improving, not because I think that the other doctor has got it totally wrong. Xx

I think that's the right thing to say Icelolly &*(

I agree with Kate

I think this is a good idea, as long as you word it as you have said.

Yeah, I'm going to be as discrete as I can about it. But trust me that's the easy bit, getting my mum to make the appointment for me if going to be the diffcult bit :-\
Think I will speak to head of house about it first, (bet she loves me!) No I think I actually made her feel really bad on Monday, I was standing there crying my eyes out and then I apoligized for keep coming to see her because I do feel like I take up so much of her time, then she made me stay until I took it back x
-
Thats nice of her, shows she really cares. Can you not make the appointment yourself?

Yeah she does care :) no I can't because I'm not able to phone up to book at the right time, its not like I can pre book in this situation either. I can't get there without my mum finding out either because I always walk home with my brother and then if I make up some excuse as to why I was coming home late I would have to get other people to cover for me and then I would have to tell them where I was really going and why I can't tell my mum and what I am going for etc.
Might get a bit sticky :-\

I see that is tricky, not fair to involve other people. Just hope you can get your mum to make an appointment.
