Every day is a learning curve. GPs can't keep up with modern technology and you may be pleasantly surprised - yours may be pleased that you have positive information to work with. If not, time to find another GP Practice!
Hi CKLD
My GP is a real sweetie. She is always fully booked. I have quite a few friends who have her, and they all speak highly of her.
I really like her, and she said she is really fond of me, but no one's perfect, and there has only been two problems I had with her in the fourteen years I have been with her. One was she said it was ok to take prescription diazepam 2 or 3 times a week and not het hooked.
I did get hooked, diazepam has an enormously long halflife, so the last lot was still in my system when I was taking it again, for about 6 years.
HRT is the other thing I have had problems with her.
She only knows what she is trained though and they are so hellishly busy that there is probably no time to bone up on the latest menopause research.
Ironically, she is going through menpause herself, but she says HRT is contra-indicated for her so she has to 'put up with the flushes'
As for the internet, she is an old fashioned one, even though she is only a few years older than me. She knows I use the internet, but when I tell her I got info from a website, I can sense her switching off.
Other than that, with my mental health, my lungs, my ibs etc, she is great.
She also makes me laugh, she is a pretty woman, and very dotty, and anything gives her the giggles.
