Horrible doctors appointment

[jenna]

I went back to see my GP on tuesday and explained that id lost a lot of weight on the new tablets she'd given me but id put it back on the last week because id been having lemsips and cough sweets. She weighed me and said 'you havent lost anything' - where i not speaking english or what?

Anyway i thought i was just being over emotional. Then she started talking to me like i was 5 saying theres plenty of chefs telling people about healthy eating (still upset but thought it was just me being emotional again) then she said 'What about excercise' I could have cried, she was talking to me like iv never done it before!! i explained that i go to the gym and walk home from work some times (which is about 7/8 mile) and she said 'Ohhh! no need to do anything that drastic!' I cant win can i?

And when i thought she was finally going to let me leave she said 'iv lost 7lbs in the last month just because iv got a new dog and iv been walking it 3 times a day, Look at me i dont even NEED to lose weight'

Im not sure wether her atittude has made me more determined to prove her wrong and lose more weight or she's just made me lose more confidence in doctors.

Some drs can be very rude. Can you go to see someone else? In the meantime try not to waste your time and energy by letting her get to you - i know it's easier said than done. Her life must be pretty sad if she gets her kicks out of putting people down.

hope you ok

shes the only doctor that referd me to the hospital for a scan when i was worried the others said i was young and so on she was ok and i totally understand what she means- she wants me to lose 21lbs before refering me to a specialist because then i can get stright into fertility problems and she doesnt want me to go and be told to lose weight first. I thought id finally found a doctor that was understanding but id obviestly got it wrong.

No need for that attitude from doctors don't let her deter you.

I stopped taking the pill because the female doctor at the family planning clinic humiliated me about my weight when I moved to a new area and had to see the doc not the nurse. I just walked out in tears without my prescription. Its not like I was even in the 'worrying' bmi, I had a bmi of about 28.

Silly woman - dont let her deter you and just ignore her stupid comments!

 

[Redshoes]

omg what a b!tch
Very non-professional, she should be supporting you and offering advice not judging, silly bint
Never mind her, you keep going and feel great about what you're acheiving, if it comes off slowly its more likely to stay off anyway
Paul McKenna's book 'I can make you thin' is an excellent read, and has about a 75%'ish success rate, diets have a 0% success rate

Very best wishes with it jenna, take care of yourself

hey there

I cant believe how unprofessional that woman is! i understand that you cant really change GP but if she behaves like that again try, if you can, to stand up to her!

I have had a lot of people belittle me in my life (I think because I am short!) and in my experience, telling a view truths has gained me more respect!

Hope the diet/exercise goes well for you

keep your spirits up

OMG thats awful, I would report her

 

[jenna]

I think im going to try as hard as i can then if shes says owt next time im just going to tell her how i feel. Its eating me up inside that iv let her get away with talking to me like that. I know shes a doctor and every thing and shes only trying to help but theres no need to talk to me like crap.

 

[Little miss pink]

Some people are tactless idiots. Don't let her steer you off your ultimate goal hun she's not important enough.... And if she's like that again tell her how she makes you feel and explain you just don't feel like she is giving you the respect you deserve. Oh it annoys me so much when i hear about people abusing their positions and treating people like sh*t!!!!



Take Care and have a load of these from me
