Well I booked my 2nd dermatology clinic appointment today, for St Thomas’s when is this appointment for the dermatology clinic ? early in November > so thats roughly 10 weeks lead time on an appointment, and knowing my luck it will be as useless as my last dermatology appointment, in which that 10 week wait, is to get a lousy 20 minute slot in a specialists time, in which if he can, he palms you off with no testing and no follow-up, also at no point did the guy get much closer to me than about 4 feet, he then basically reassures you and tells you to go away and live with it if you can, using a pleasant demeanour and a bit of NLP, and suggests a condition thats been going on for 4 years, might gets better by itself ? what an idiot ! He then rights a pointless letter discharging you back to your more than useless GP’s care ! writing something about hows he’s reassured you ?! what a cock ! This guy is paid stupid money, and half the people he barely helps more than a with a 20 minute appt in which he basically talks and does nothing. If GP’s and specialists are going to be so ultimately useless and symptom appraisal from experience based, then they can at least charge a hell of allot less for their speculation. for what from my perspective seems such useless activity.
Whats basically wrong with this ? They charge so much they can afford only to give you a period time which means they can resolve nothing ? A bit like me trying to resolve my clients computers problems totally with half hour sessions only !
Sometimes it takes 8 hours of work, to solve a clients complex computer problems, Yet doctors magically think they can get away with giving you a half an hour of their time on a much more complex system the human body, and are supposedly bloody hero’s who can just look at us read a few symptoms and tell whats wrong ?! bullshit ! Its like fucking water divining, full generally of misses in a scatter gun approach, spread out over years of time, to book the appointments necessary to spend enough time with them !
Truthfully I also dont get my clients to turn up with their computers at my premises having booked 3 months in advance, talk with them for half an hour and tell them they need to go home taking their computers with them and if the problem doesnt go away by itself without me having done any tests at all, they can always book another useless 20 minute appt, 3 months further in the future in which I will also not attempt to help them.
Now admiteadly the human system is a great deal more complex than a computer system, but still I tend not to physically leave their premises unless i have provided some kind of functioning solution.
Its the lack of rigour and scientific testing to this whole process that I majorly object to, Id rather a whole in the wall blood testing machine did the job than a doctor. Its all this trust me im a docter ive studied allot of symptoms and now im qualified to speculate and do nothing ?
The truth is this the NHS has let a hell of allot of people slowly die, due to the culture of ignorance and deference to antiquated and system of doctoring, in which the doctor is placed on this high pedestal and unquestioned, and we dont care about it, until were ill and depending on it.
Truth is most of them go into it for societal respect to preen their egos and to fleece the taxpayer of an income thats large and very sufficient for providing for large family and home if desired. Hence all the foreign doctors in this country milking the NHS.
