How are you feeling today?

[DrChandra]

I have had a very strange day.After 33 years as a GP I have finally retired.I feel a bit sentimental but am ready to enjoy my well deserved retirement.Starting with a trip home to India.I was wondering how everyone else's day has been now I have time on my hands.

Well Doc, its like this,

Woke up this morning, got a stinker of a cold, constant nose running, but i,ve managed to stem the tide through taking tablets etc and feeling a little better, so thanks for asking

[crete]

well done 33 years in the n h s congratulations on a well deserved rest hope you have a great holiday and we hear from you again soon i only managed 30 years in the n h s

I feel very silky and smooth today.

[DrChandra]

30 and 33 seem pretty close to me.Just wondering why do people on here ask questions like "am I pregnant?" Even a qualified Doctor like myself cannot answer that without even seeing the person!

[whiffey]

If they describe the signs and symptoms accurately you can at least posit a guess doc :)

[crete]

body and sole is like the local pharmacy and casualty all rolled into one every medical question you have ever been asked will have been asked on this site

[crete]

whiffy what is possit i thought that was a small amount of vomit usually from a baby after feeding

[DrChandra]

I would be VERY wary to give my opinion as to what the illness was.The person may then believe me 100% and possibly not even go to the Doctor as a result! Unilikely but not worth the risk.

[crete]

you could become the resident doctor for q, a, when you come back from your hols

[laurence2]

oh, one thing doc, beware of the hypochondriacs on here?

They seem to have 3/4 different illnesses daily.

[DrChandra]

I could indeed! I have seen some of the questions on here and yes there are a few people who seem over worried by small things but that is life I guess.I will answer a question using the knowledge that I know but explain that by opinion may very well be wrong.

[lord molly]

great, went sky diving. i seriously suggest it, when u have a week free, o on a crash course. its mind blowing. have a nice trip to india

[DotH]

I feel like ***** and I have all day.

[crete]

doth you need the doctor

[DrChandra]

Sorry to hear that DotH. Thanks I am sure my trip will be great.I am not sure about skydiving! I am 69 you know and am ever so slightely over-weight.

[DrChandra]

I have only just retired and am still answering medical problems, and went straight for this category as soon as I joined!

[crete]

do i smell a rat here or have i just been on this site too long ?

[DrChandra]

No just suspicion.Obviously anyone saying they are a Doctor on an internet forum will instantly be greeted with suspicion.
