Hannah I have just redad your post and being from the Uk am really quite
disgusted at the response you have had from your doc.Thankfully my G.P
is VERY supportive.
Can i ask how many docs are in your practice? If more than one can you
make another appointment with another practice member.
You should not have ben treated in this way, I say this because a friend
of mine is an advocate adn I do a lot of voluntary work for him.
Have u considered changing your doctor, finding another practice in your
area? You are entitled to do this, it is your right.
I wish you well in gaining the info you need. keep fighting the fight,
dont give up :o)
Take gentle care of U
