persephone Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Well actually you will, but hey ho.I crashed yesterday- UTI took a real hold. So I had to get to OXford out of hours Dr. I thought incase he's daft, I'll take the POTS leaflet then he can read about it.Got there- he just looked at me- as if to say- do you think I was born yesterday?So I presented the leaflet."And WHERE were you diagnosed with this??" (Read; what crank diagnosed it)I explained it was \ Professor of Neurovascular medicine at the National Hispital of Neurology and Neurosurgery.His reply: Hm....I might ring the hospital for advice.*does this while I'm in the room*and says......WELL SHE'S BROUGHT A LEAFLET, SO AT LEAST WE KNOW IT EXISTS! This came AFTER he asked me to stand up and I slumped in the chair, shaking and gasping. What a TOSSPOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom4cem Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Always have to be ready and armed with our info. Thank goodness for the leaflet, as we know they don't like to listen to something verbal, they like to see it in print.Hope you are feeling better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
