I agree that the OP has gone quiet, and I suspect that is down to a lack of support from posters. Which I agree with....
About 2 months ago, I was really uncomfortable (won't go into too much detail, family forum ) so went to see the locum, who said "well, you were pregnant........now you're in the middle of losing it. Come back if you don't stop in 3 days"
I cried and cried but did not for one minute think about "financial compensation" Be gald you're alive!!

That is so awful for you. Were you not given any sort of emotional support. Big hugs and sympathy and hope things improve for you. I cannot believe that any doctor would be so uncairing.

Yes, I was somewhat suprised!! I was tremendously lucky to have a supportive b/f, and a very distracting 4 year old girly to care for!!

To the poster who didn't complain when pneumonia was misdiagnosed as man-flu:

You really should have complained about that doctor. Sometimes GPs - especially out of hours ones - simply aren't bothered. Doctors do sometimes get struck off for this behaviour, and reporting something like this could save a life!
