i know everyone has a view about doctors , but the question is
are you scared to go to the doctors about yourself ?

Never been too scared to speak to a doctor about something.
Only problem I have is that it takes too bloody long to see one!

well if it was down to me, the only time id visit a doctor is im my leg was hanging, they have far more important things to do that listen to me. Anyway, everytime i go, it because im convinced it i've got something terminal, like when i was dying of brain cancer, turned out for three years i was suffering with migraines.

efFGee would you feel differant if you thought you had a serious problem,

easy you are impossible

I'd be apprehensive but not scared. have been to the doctors with serious things, would never be too scared to seek medical help.

good for you girl, me i hate going they talk so much crap and never tell you anything worth hearing

Write it down before you go and take your notes with you!

I can in some ways understand why people can be to scared to go to a doctor but I'd hate to think that if there was something wrong that I'd let fear kill me.

i don't need to write it down i am not that old

i normal only go when i need some pills

well i made a list last time i went, got told that i only had 10 mins, so just pick two from the list, went for the skin cancer which i got some moisteriser cream to clear it up, and the dodgy heria op scar which was ok, no treatment needed, could of at least had a pill or something.

Just meant to save getting flustered!

flustered! i don't get flustered!



i feel doctors do not have all the answers, i know enough about health to don't usually need them but when i do i found them very aggorant and maddering .

Something similar happened to me. When i started at the betting shop about 4 years ago, within 6 months i was having headaches that were absolutely mindblowing, (its all computerised), it got so bad i was making myself stressed and probably making it worse. I sat in front of the doctor and i went something like this

Doc :yes
me :err, i think i have errr
doc: yes
me :err i have headaches and i think i might have ummm
Doc : what, what do you think you might have
Me :errr, well you know
Doc; err no, i dont
Me: ummm like errr like you know ummm brain thingy
Doc whats brain thingy
Me : errr BRAIN TUMOUR, I'M DYING I THINK I HAVE A TUMOR,

The doc tried to keep a straight face, by this time i was welling up, and asked the, do i faint, do i throw up, etc, after saying no, no and no again, he deduced that i'd been in front of a computer for long periods and its eye strain, right at the back of the eyes.

I felt silly, and blooming relieved .


I only go to the doctor to get the pill and have a smear, i dont really go at all, and i've pretty much avoided it after that incident

Dont you get bullied into going, i do, infact if it wasn't for the bullying i dont think id ever go.

No chance, unless i'm bleeding out of my ears OH thinks theres nothing wrong. I'm the one that gets man flu and can't get out of bed for a week, i ring downstairs in a pityful voice' please bring me a cup of tea, i cant move' , he gets up lke a trooper and gets on with it, the only time he complained is when he had sciatica, even then he didn't complain much

sciatica,now that is painful

i'm of to the heart specialist this afternoon i'm not scared to see him i just want him to help me sort things out .

i hope he does help you, there are times when only a specialist will do, well done for stopping smoking, btw

Who can get to see a Doctor nowadays??

You've got to have blood coming out the eyes before you can get an appointment!

Call Gatley medical center and you had better know what illness or problem you are going to have in three weeks time because that's when you'll get to see the Doctor.

well the doctors love me, i never go, and when i'm nagged persuaded to go, i give them a list of complaints. Hope its nowt to serious andrew.

pls start going to ur naturopathy doctor
