A second opinion on a Doctor....

[Bbbananas]

... have just had a patient storming out of a consulting room shouting "That doctor is a tw@t - I want a second opinion".

I was very tempted to say "Yes I agree - that Doctor is indeed a tw@t" - but thought I'd better keep my opinion to myself.

It would be very unprofessional.

Did I do right?

[logic]

yes certainly SALLA untill you are competent enough to conduct a valid argument with said doctor , then don't even try,

[Naomicorlett]

You did right but how very tempting it must have been .

I have a fab doctor, could never call him a [email protected]

[what..the?]

I wouldn't have held myself back saying,

"welcome to the real world their all *****, your better off popping down the vets"

[mccfluff]

has a tw@t or is tw@t?

[Bbbananas]

lol mcfluff...
Is a tw@t.

[Barmaid]

what...the - that's terribly judgemental that ALL of them are tw@ts. That's like saying that all lawyers are robbing, cheating, barstewards. OK, not my best point......... ;)

[Bbbananas]

I must say that the vast majority of doctors that I know - and I do know many - are great. It's only the odd one.... same as in any profession or walk of life.

Hi Barmaid - feeling good? x

[sqad617]

salla....not a rare occurance when the DR. doesn't give the answer that a patient wants.

Drs get used to the fact that non-medically qualified people know better than the Dr.

So what is new?

Keep out of it salla.

[Barmaid]

Feeling a bit better thanks Salla. Starting to have a much more positive outlook on life. Going to fetch the kitty cat at 5.30, can't wait to have her home!!

[Bbbananas]

It was a sort-of joke sqad. The patient did indeed say that - & I can't say I have a particularly high opinion of that particular doctor, - however the patient is also a tw@t, and I
do know when to be professional,and had no real intention of saying that to him.
More than my jobsworth squire...!

[sqad617]

There we are salla.....if you had told me that the patient was a tw@t, then that explains everything. LOL

[what..the?]

I am afraid to say I havent ever met a good doctor or nurse in my time for that reason I havent been registered with one in years.

On top numerous family members and friends have died due to mistakes made with their care through the NHS.

I am sorry but there are no excuses for bad treatment.

years ago I saw a new doctor when I had bronchitis - he said that as I smoked it was self-inflicted and refused to give me any anti-biotics - he then booked me in for a smear test and a tetanus jab. I was livid, marched out and shouted to the receptionist 'Who's that tw@t in there pretending to be a doctor?'............she kept a straight face and said 'The same tw@t giving you a tetanus jab next week'......ooh

[Bbbananas]

Ouch! Did he jab it in extra hard?!

[Bbbananas]

the needle I mean... not the speculum.

Double ouch......

[sqad617]

What the doctor actually says to a patient and what the patient says the doctor said, are quite often two different things.

[craft1948]

both......

[Bbbananas]

an extra ouch!
Gawd - what a tw@t !!!!!!!
