To the outsider: My pdoc is in Bristol, South West. Whereabouts do you live? Did your GP refer you to your pdoc? How come you're not happy with them?
Hi, sorry I couldn't be more helpful on the Remeron issues.
I'll try answering your questions one by one.
Firstly I live in Cambridge UK. Distance is not to much of an issue though, I would travel to Mars to get a decent doctor!
Secondly my GP did indeed refer me to my Pdoc.
I used to have a very decent private doctor, but he has now been forced to retire.Thirdly, why am I not happy with my current Pdoc?
Were shall I begin!?
Actualy I think he's not especially bad for an average UK doc.The thing about the situation that frustrates me is that I always have appointements with a junior Pdoc, who then goes and consults with the senior one.
This is bad because I will have agreed on a treatment with the junior doctor, after an hours consultation. Then the junior doctor will speak to the senior one, he will rubbish my suggestions for treatment and decided on a completely diffirent drug, without even having seen me!RRRR
This wouldn't really matter if I wasn't depressed and anxious. The senior doc prescribed clomipramine for me, which helps with the anxiety, but has nightmare side effects.
The cure is worse than the disease!
