"just one point
if you look on there wall they have a certificate saying
they are licenced to "practace" medicine
people working in other jobs have to get it right "
Remove "have" and insert "supposed" and that is a more accurate reflection  |

Not sure I like the idea of someone 'practising' medicine on me... you'd have thought after all those years of training they'd have practised enough by now! 
Generally I don't have a problem with them but my old doctor (he's dead now, silly old bastard) used to think smoking was the cause of all ills - if you went to him with your arm sliced off and you were a smoker he'd say, "stop smoking and you'll grow another one."
Stupid git died of a heart attack out jogging. So much for being fit eh? |

I work with Doctors.....ranging from Consultants to GP's. Some good some bad. At the end of the day they all seem to have a "God" complex.
anyhow I better start trusting them if I am going to go ahead with my op soon  |

I trusted them fully.. as did all my family. Till this year April in fact when even after two over a week long stays in hospital, scans.. cameras down the throat, constant weight loss.. an inability to eat anything.. The diagnosis was ulcers... treated for ulcers..
She passed away from Gastric Cancer in July.. Stage 5, Ohhh and after death... No ulcers present!! |

well my personal view on GP's are.....jack of all trades and master of none.
One of the Doctors I work for her (he is also a doc for a well known footie team) whenever he is late tells me to say the same old excuse. Then on his arrival here he will go into explaining his reason for lateness to the patients. He makes the patients feel guilty by saying he has been performing CPR on someone....life or death etc. Patients end up subdued instead of annoyed at his lateness. When he finishes for lunch he comes down laughing saying " couldn't get out of bed I was jet lagged".......
the same doctor gets arsey if it turns out the patients are supporters of the rival football team
wot a tosser always comes to mind |

The strangest part of all.. is that my Mum told her doctor what it was she suspected when visiting him after last xmas.. he said not to be silly, even though she had one sister suffering the same..(Now also passed away) and had buried another in the previous spring!
The Doctor.. he gave her Gaviscon..
I think in all honesty, there are good and bad.. No one is perfect!
Angry?? Past being angry.. More disheartened and scared for others.. |

I trust doctors implicitly and with my life of course, yes there are bad ones, there is good and bad in every walk of life but generally speaking they do what we should expect of them, let's not expect miracles that's for the religious orders and trusting them is a whole different choir, i mean ball game |

That said we did meet one swinging couple who mistakenly trusted a doctor with the ladies mother, sadly the Doctor in question was called Shipman and we all know what happened then
Interestingly they recieved £5000 compensation for the loss of a mother - obviously the National Health have different ideas on how much people are worth in relation to the way they pass on or recieve inapropriate treatment, a mistake is worth a lot more than an intentional harmfull treatment.
There again the National Coalboard offered the parents of the children killed in Aberfan in 1966 £50 compensation but only if they could prove they were close to thier children
Going on again aren't I  |

i remember many years ago taking one of my kids to see the doctor because she had a brown discharge and a funny smell coming from her nose, ovbiously i was concerned about this, the doc said it was nothing to worry about, had a look up her nose and said she was fine, took her back 4 times over a period of time as the smell was getting worse etc every time was told shes ok nothing to worry about, when i asked what the discharge and smell was if she was ok was told was just told was nothing serious probably just a cold not at all happy with this is the end i took her to A&E told them i had been talking her to the docs for about a month now, the smell was that bad by this point didnt even need to tell them about that lol anyway i said they've had several looks up her nose but insist shes ok, the doc there wasnt convinced the smell was nothing to worry about so took a look at her, turned out she had shoved a bit of sponge up her nose, as kids do lol and it had been there that long the skin had grown over it and had coursed an infection which was what the smell and discharge was, they tryed to get it down but the skin had grown over to much so had to put her to sleep so they could cut the skin to get the bit of sponge out, anyway i went back to the dr and told her what had happened and said i wasnt pleased i had been to see her 5 times and each time she failed to noticed something the hospital doc had picked up on straight away and all she said was.....well we do sometimes make mistakes and walked away from me |

Gps..I trust them until they give me reason not to...But they are only human...and like the rest of us subject to "human error".....Off days..personal problems..illness...etc.
We can all recall bad experiences with Doctors and good ones I'm sure....but they are not a breed apart...they are as prone to mistakes..as the rest of us all.
I trust doctors in the same way I trust Gas fitters..Pilots...electricions...some good..some bad...but you have to have an element of trust to put your life in their hands....but I would be more likely to trust a doctor than a catholic priest anyday..!! |

Sounds like the same doc that teated my dad. He was being treated for dispepsia etc for 3 months, them Xmas day 1993 dad started being really sick, and was sick every day till he could go back to see doc again, he was sent to hospital for tests and never came out. He died of stomach cancer. |
