hiya

i see what you mean..sorry for being slow on the uptake

yes...i think i may have been unlucky in my dealings with the NHS and been around people who have been too busy or not known enough of what they were talking about to give me a diagnosis.

tho my actions and behaviours towards them may not have helped. I guess i should have stuck at it and persued an outcome of sorts but i can be a bit of an ass when i'm frustrated.

my psychiatrist was well-meaning but a bit useless...and my psychotherapist was worse than useless. He could barely speak english...its no lie that i felt our sessions turned into Sesame Street as i had to explain the meaning of words i used. I didn't feel i should have been having to explain the meaning of the word 'context' or 'vegan' for example. And all doctors wanted was to put me on meds without saying what they thought was wrong.

yeah..perhaps i've just been unlucky rather than my usual thinking that the medical establishment of the UK are all against me lol

What are the NHS?

The NHS is the National Health Service in UK. If you are in a carcrash emergency etc it usually works pretty well.....anything else and its a bit of a lottery. You could get a good doctor and correct referals...or you could get told to bugger off, drink some Lucozade and take some aspirin.


and hey tim....thanks for the tim-welcome

So if you need something for a good reason, they can heko you.
