Today was my practical fork lift test.........so after setting up the course the instructor said to me We'll have one run through then do the test proper, well I did my run through but noticed he was writting thing's down, after I had finished he said 'Sorry You got 3 penalty point's' then he burst out laughing and said I'd done excelent and passed me with an 'A' as you can't score more than 40 penalty point's.

I am so so happy and so over the moon

Well done Tosh! You must be over the moon, and deservedly so.

I should be over the moon too, as my blood pressure was 130/70 the lowest it has been in over a decade. The long awaited visit to the doctors was a complete washout. Not only was he not wearing aftershave, but his total appearance and attitude was a complete turnoff.
Can anyone please answer this question? My blood test showed I had inflamation, I was convinced I had arthritis in my hips as I am not able to walk any great distance without a great deal of pain. He moved both my legs up and down and back and forth and pronounced that not only did I not have arthritis, but that I had very little pain. Eh? How can he tell that? When I challenged him about having a scan, he got quite uppity and told me I didn't have arthritis and the scan would not reveal anthing different. As for the results for the thyroid (which I was unaware they were monitoring until two doctors ago) it was at 4 and apparently I shouldn't worry until it get up nearer 10. Next the blood pressure (before I had my blood pressure taken) I asked why, if I was taking 6 different tablet a day was my pressure still high. He said that it was not possible to control the BP in some people. He prescribed some ointment to rub on my hips, and I was out the door before you could say 'Bob's your Uncle'.
Thinks.......this is probably in the wrong thread.

Ah Tinky what a horrible let down after he sounded so nice on the phone. You would have been better of with the nice thoughts of the phone call and left with your imagination of what he looked like rather the bad experience you had today.

Would make you wonder how he was so different to you on the phone with a really caring side to him to your visit today.

Dilli, Pauls9, Sasha, The Daddy, Nashville, LondonRoad and Tinky Thank You all so much

@ Tinky,
I'm wondering if the doctor you saw know's what he is doing !!!!,
yes your BP was better than you've said before so that must please you, as for him knowing you had 'no' pain or arthritis who did he think he was 'superman' with x-ray vision grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, if he is new to the practise you use Please ask to see another Dr that would know your case better, and also a scan or a bone density scan would show arthritis as would an x-ray as my previous scan's have shown.
it must be so frustrating not knowing the cause of the pain, also may i ask what the cream was he prescribed ?? and may i suggest trying a TeNs machine to help with pain control so you do not need more medication.

Thank you Tosh and Sasha for your concern. I am still wondering how he could tell by prodding, that I didn't have arthritis, or that my pain was minimal. So it follows if someone broke their leg and the doctor felt it and said it wasn't broken, we have to take his word for it.

I am still of the opinion that once you reach a certain age, they just don't want to know.

The gel he prescribed was Diclofenac Sodium topical 3%. He said he daren't prescribe tablets as I was already taking ones for my BP. I was not able to make an appoinment with the previous doctor I saw, because the waiting time was 3 weeks!!!! I'm losing faith in this surgery I have been with for over 30 years. My old doctor retired in April.
