HOw many of us have had this experience and how do we fight back without antagonising the ignorant bastards? You are also in this thread allowed to discuss the problem of nurses who keep you awake all night by chattering to each other about their love lives and stuff as though you weren't even there!

For a long time when I was 14 I used to get terrible tummy pains.
I went to my doctor at the time several times. The first time I went with my mum and he accused me of being sexually active and this was what was the cause eeek:
He then asked my mum to leave the room and asked me the same question. I told him categorically not evil:
He did nothing
A few weeks later I was whisked by ambulance to hospital at 3am and had to have emergency surgery for a burst appendix.
I never went back to that doctor cussing:

I have always found members of the medical profession to be most attentive, courteous and deferential.

BUPA?

I can handle the arrogance but I get irate when they talk to you as if you're a small child. Nurses especially are very prone to do that.
-
[Serious] How do you deal with that [serious]?
-
I tell them "FIRMLY" I am neither deaf nor stupid.
I had one who plonked her fat arse on me bed (and me leg) and started to fill out her forms. "Now what should we call you .... what do they call you at home?"
I replied "Daddy mainly ~ but you can call me Mr Snoopy or Sir"
She ran away eveilgrin:
No doctor has ever called me anything but Mr so why should the fecking nurses want to get familiar? Cheeky mares ~ I have children older than them.
PS Come to that I have children older than most of the doctors.

When the FiL was in hospital and known to be reaching the end a nurse sat on his bed ~ he kicked her. She then tried to discover if he was "aware".
Do you know who the Prime Minister is?" she asked brightly
"Yes"
"Do you know what day it is today?"
"Yes"
"Do you know who I am?"
"No but you are annoying me .... go away and let me finish my crossword"
Top Marks to the old boy :thumbsup:

Like Snoopy, I tell them firmly that I'm not a child so stop treating me like one.

But does it werk?

Just before I was discharged from hospital the last time the cardio nurse had to come and talk me through my meds diet and exercise regime. She herself was obese. censored:
On a recent visit to the doctor (an Indian gent about the same age as me only a foot shorter) Mr C accompanied me. The doctor talked to Mr C about me as if I was not there. I don't know who was the angriest on leaving.
I can forgive the GP for being a tad grumpy as the surgery insist on him being called Dr Thomas rather than Dr Kadicheeni, Thomas is his first name and people round here can't be bothered to learn it or pronounce it. noooo:
The consultant I saw today suggested that the pain was 'in my mind' and was I stressed and had I considered counselling. He changed his tune when I pointed out to him that my neck had been broken and I had a metal cage implanted my neck. Wankah:

I saw that a lot back in the day when I was a student nurse, it seemed to stem from a combination of 'informed consent' and absolute paranoia about the litigation culture that was starting.

My quack said she thinks I'm odd. eeek: evil:
