    I was going to ask the same thing. Suppose he's a single man now though. Time to get out and slay some sloots.

    Sertraline might actually be good for you, Magic. Was prozac the first thing they gave you?

    I need to start wanking again, at the very least.

    Prozac was prescribed because I thought I was depressed, and there were no investigatory questions beyond that.

    Prozac is a strange one to start someone on.

    I think that was the 5th or 6th they tried with me.

    As an aside, my dad has a night vision camera set up in the utility room but that looks right on to the basement door. I forced myself to have a wank for the first time in like 3 weeks and hated every second of it but had to be seriously shady about taking toilet paper down and back up.

    Didn't want to ask for the camera to be moved because that implies shameful activities, which is true.

    I'm going to catch up on this thread when I can. From a personal perspective, I've felt a few warning signs creeping in lately. For anyone who remembers my troubles, it's been over ten years now.

    Went back to the psychiatrist again today as per appointment, another fucking locum, this time from India. What an absolute waste of time. I think I was in there for all of 2 minutes, there was not one attempt to understand my situation, get to know me, help me with a treatment plan or give me pointers and tips to improve my wellbeing.

    "Is the medication killing you? No? Ok we'll stick with that, and we'll see you in 6 months! Cheers"

    Fuck off.

    Is it possible the medication takes x amount of time for you to feel the full effects of it or something or are they genuinely just cold as ice?

    Yeah, doctors can be incredibly shit. They're just following a script a lot of the time and really shouldn't be regarded as highly as they are. I know it's a difficult and stressful job, but some people look to doctors to solve all their problems, but a bad doctor could possibly worsen them.

    GP's are the biggest joke. I've literally seen the ones at our practice Google stuff. "wHaTs BeSt AnTibIooTiC 4 EaRiNfaCtIomS?"

    I reckon you could just chuck any pleb a GP job. As long as you can look in someone's gob and say 'it's viral' you'll get away with it for a fair while.

    Being a GP is an incredibly hard job. The vast majority of what you see is non-specific or incredibly minor bullshit (like idiots demanding antibiotics for a viral sore throat). The minority is serious and you have to be able to sift it out, recognise it and know what to do with it. GPs get slammed for missing cases of things like ovarian cancer but they'll have seen 500 patients with the same symptoms who have IBS for every 1 who has ovarian cancer, and yet they're meant to pick that one out.

    Also what's wrong with checking the best antibiotic for a specific indication? Do you expect doctors to remember which of the many antibiotics are best for every one of the millions of different infections despite the fact guidelines change all the time?

    The "easy" medical jobs (in my pleb opinion) are things like hyper-specialised orthopedic surgeons who literally only ever do 1 operation over and over and over again. Anything general is hard.

    I would imagine 90% of the stuff that walks through the door is minor bullshit. How many different ways can you think of to say 'Wait until it gets better'.

    Yes. Especially when they go on to chuck a broad-spectrum antibiotic at everything. If you need Google to tell you to prescribe Amoxicillin for a Chest Infection, then I can only assume that you drank your way through the entirety of your study.

    There's not a lot of focus in medical education on rote learning antibiotic guidelines. Given that it takes all of three seconds to check - and is liable to change at any moment - it's entirely useless information to retain. People tend to remember the ones they have to prescribe a lot but that's about it.

    @Giggles yes there are most certainly some atrocious GPs around.

    My complaint is that it should be a hard job, and as RL pointed out, some of it is. But, a Dr shouldn't need to sit googling how to treat a common infection. It's their bread and butter.

    Fair enough. Although I maintain that having to use Google to prescribe Amoxicillin for a Chest Infection makes you look untrustworthy as fuck.

    I think using Google at least shows they're making sure they get it right. I quite like it when they do a bit of research tbh. I don't expect them to know everything at all, and recognising their flaws is a good thing. It's the doctors that send you down the wrong route that are dangerous.

    Even if they think I'm making up whatever I'm saying, jaysus at least get up off the seat and have a look. I'm paying €60 for the ten minutes.

    I remember the time I started getting the funny sensations in the right side of my face and went in after a few months of it not getting better. Then, in the usual line of questioning about family history, I mentioned the cousin dying of a stroke at 30. Within a few seconds she thought I was making it all up because of that and was trying to pack me off to 'talk to someone about it' and not another bloody mention of what I actually went in for.

    My mother in law is losing her marbles, and her GP has been disgraceful. Her husband has taken her to the doctor's three times, and they keep saying she's fine and just a bit depressed.

    There's no doubt in my mind that she's suffering from some sort of dementia. The other week she asked my wife (her daughter) "How's your mum doing?".

    I think GPs really struggle to accept dementia as a diagnosis.

    My nan was absolutely away with the fairies, very nearly burned down her house (and the terraces around her) and the GP still wasn't convinced.

    There must be some serious consequences for a dementia diagnosis that GPs want to shy away from.

    Not all mind, I've generalised.

    Absolutey not. He was the mirror image of that one of n the big bang theory. An entitled hipster from the highest caste.

    He probably thought I was beneath him and therefore would have seen it as a compliment from an inferior race.
