Do You Have A Good Relationship With Your Doctor/practice?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

My guess is - if it is insurance, probably yes...if nhs...probably no. I hope I'm wrong!

My GP has been very supportive before and after diagnosis, I'm in the UK so NHS, can't say the same for all the GP's or consultants I've seen unfortunately. I have 5 GP's at my practice I would happily see, but 3 I would avoid I would rather not see a GP that day, 1 I've only seen once so can't really comment on her and 3 I've never seen. My usual GP has been keeping me under 4 weekly appointments at the moment to keep a check on things, and I can usually speak to him on the phone that week if needed. He's seen me in his lunch break and after hours in the past too. I couldn't have asked for better support.

I have a fantastic doctor, always takes into consideration how I want to approach treatment instead of just dictating. He's more like a treatment coordinator than anything. We are lucky here in Australia to have a system where some practices are completely bulk billed to Medicare, so I don't pay to see him. In saying that, he's the only doctor I've found in a bulk billed practice to be as good, most don't really care about their patients that much.

The first one I had talked more about his aches and pains than mine, so after a year of that crap I changed directions and towns and found another. She's been great

I have a great GP really helpful and listens to everything I have to say where as my old doctor said to me just because you are crying doesn't mean there is a problem. Both NHS doctors some of them really do care and take the time to listen to you others couldn't give a sh*t (excuse the language) I was with the bad doctors for over 20 years until I finally snapped changed surgeries and never had any issues since.

I'm sure that you still have private health care - like in UK it is increasing year on year as NHS becomes more and more badly resourced
