Doctors & Personal Problems
25 Answers
Just wondered how people get on with reporting personal problems to their GP's?
Ive had a number of personal problems including...
A testicular cyst which had to be removed when I was 20.
A number of anal examinations (bleeding) current!
A penile infection (which I wrongly blamed on my 'then' girlfriend)
Just wondered if it might be worthwhile just turning up at my GP with my trousers already around my ankles?
More seriously, Ive known people too embarresed to see their GP with a 'personal' problem
and lost their lives because of it.
I just dont get it?
Doctors see it all, day in and day out.
Never pleasent having your bits messed with
(unless its consensual)
But I just dont get why people are embarresed about their bodies....

I've never been embarrassed to mention my bodily parts, or bodily functions, to medical people.
For example, when I turned up at a clinic for a urine flow test last year, everyone else was discretely speaking to the receptionist. I was the one who walked through the door and boomed out at the top of my voice, "Eh up, lass! Is this where I come to p¦ss in a pot then?"

What's a GP?
Its a generic term for someone who is lucky eneough to get to see a medic nowadays. Its becoming a rarity and will be so for the forthcoming....
It will soon be a thing of the past.
We will all soon be self diagnosing via zoom or some suchlike.
Last week I phoned to make an appointment to see a specific doctor whom I saw for the first time in October for a recurring problem which has not been resolved.
2 days later I got a call back from the surgery triage team and was offered an appointment with a female doctor. I explained again that I wanted to see the same doctor as before and was told they thought I would rather see a female doctor. Sometimes, even my patience is exhausted.
