One of the more commoner replies to posters on Body and Soul concerning medical topics is " why come onto AB for answers to your health questions, go to your GP, he is the expert".......Good advce.

This morning I was entertained by an 80 response thread concerning a woman who had been to her GP for a bad back and she was prescribed, quite rightly, Valium.
So what did she do? She came straight back to AB for advice and clarification.

So what do you want from Body and Soul?

in answer to the original question . sharing of similar experiences. not a diagnosis.

" why come onto AB for answers to your health questions, go to your GP, he is the expert".......

You know that women have been doctors too for a very long time, don't you? (yes, even surgeons!)

[Marijn]

my doctor has made quite a few mistakes. Doctors are only human. So it's reassuring to come on here and get reassurance.

[anneasquith]

bednobs , you sure you can get women doctors ? i know nurses are all women. but female doctors , thats taking it a bit far. next youl be saying we have women clergy. lol

I've just made an appointment with my GP. It's in ten days' time. AB will at least provide something a bit quicker, even if it's a complete misdiagnosis.

[Ankou]

give over, its not like we have women brain surgeons or women astronauts ....is it..

[jno]

Ankou, any surgeon who can work on a woman's brain is to be applauded.

[Ankou]

yes they would need a compass, a map, and thats just to find it....

:o]

Sqad if you had actually read the op carefully

you would have noticed that Bez was talking about her daughter and not herself. But not to worry, it is a more commoner mistake on here than one might expect

[joko]

because everyone knows AB is full of know-it-alls just dying to dish out advice...so they are sure to get an answer...
