A good nurse can make such a difference. Sadly it's not rare to hear that the GP was unhelpful. Hopefully if the right balance of meds can be found, that particular situation won't occur again, but it is difficult when people are on a variety of things for different purposes.
I just got a PM from watch comedy live at the Edinburgh festival
I wonder what he wants this time
I hope he goes at 9 because I keep thinking I have a PM. I get all excited and then get let down.
Have I missed something? It's like the Marie Celeste round here at present.
Everyone is watching DIY SOS...?

I'm not, I'm watching snore-a-thon The Hour. 
At least uber-nasty chav horror film Eden Lake is on ITV4 at 10.

Can I say how much I endorse that?
Maybe I'm with, no, change that, I know I'm with a pathetic practice but it strikes me that all GPs are useless tossers more intent on money than patient care.

Earlier in the year I was struck down with a mystery illness and had tests for everything but they found nothing. Anyway, I apparenty had some symptoms of HIV, so they took some blood for an AIDS test and said I should get the results in a few days. Do you know how long I had to wait to get the all clear....FIVE FUCKING WEEKS. Over a month I waited and managed about 4 minutes sleep in the meantime.
Bastards. Total bastards. Wankers put me through hell. I was suicidal.
F**k's sake.
Grief. You would have thought that they would have moved a bit quicker given the potential diagnosis.
yup
i guess they simply aren't arsed!
