The pharmacists here are ok, it's the doctors that are fucked >.>

 

[killer-curry]

I went to see my cat, my cat sees my leg and bites. It really think my leg is it's toy.

On the topic of pharmacists, I had that happened to me several times. Just last week after I got done with my doctor's appointment, I went to the pharmacy to send in my refill, only for the clerk an hour later to tell me one of my medications is still in order and I would have to come back the next day to pick it up. x_x

 

[killer-curry]

nowadays private clinic have more expensive cost for consultation, compared to government clinic, which offers fixed fees for one buck.

 

[Corrin]

Here the doctors are government funded but the prescriptions are expensive.

 

[Tsutarja]

oh don't even get me started on healthcare in America....

 

[Logan]

it gets a bashing but the nhs is amazing (could be better though)

 

[Esper]

Could Britain maybe take back her colonies in America? I know it's a lot to ask, but we could also have your NHS then. We promise to be BFFs!

 

[Corrin]

Canada would be ok if half the doctors here weren't absolute quacks.

it's so hot here. Alabama summers are just ughhhh. Not looking forward to 90+ degree heat every day.

 

[Corrin]

Uggh tell me about it. My mom's old doctor was so incompetent and useless that she switched doctors and didn't even tell her. I still have her as my doctor, but I don't ever visit her, I usually just go to walk-in clinics. They're much faster and have far fewer restrictions than my doctor.

That's my step father's one in a nutshell. He even told my step father he can only do one thing at a time, well what if he has a lung infection and needs prescriptions? Fuck me.

 

[Corrin]

Two things would be a relief to him xD
That's ridiculous ;u;

...seems like a bad time to mention the UK has free health care.

That said...secondary health services will spend two years trying to treat you for something you don't have before then discharging you having done absolutely nothing to help, and NHS practitioners generally act more like butchers or pet owners than doctors.

You get what you pay for, I suppose.

I've not had much personal experience with doctors but from what family and friends tell me it's like many of them just want their patients out the door ASAP so they can daydream about their third holiday in the year. A family member of mine had cancer, but he was misdiagnosed by multiple doctors because they wouldn't run the proper tests. He was prescribed gaviscon at one point.

 

[Esper]

I've had like 5 doctors in the last 5 years. I keep getting letters telling me my doctor has left and they've given me a new doctor.

 

[Corrin]

Once the hospital here let a dude die for 7 hours....
So now I'm more demanding of the doctors, asking questions and all, when I go in.
