Since my disability has been confirmed and is one that cannot be faked no matter how imaginitive you get i havn't had too bad a time with the nhs. I am fortunate to have a gp that takes an interest in genetic diseases and will fight for his patients if he believes they are truthful and reliable.

On the other side of the coin i was sent to a consultant early on when correct diagnosis would have made a big difference (he completely misdiagnosed me) and in the three appointments i had with him not once did he raise his head and look at me, he kept his eyes firmly on his golfing diary and said all three times "go away lose some weight come back in six months".

First time i went away and lost two stone only to get no more recognition off him then the first time when i attended my second appointment and when he repeated his little line i just walked out and the third time i called him a few choice names and then walkled out.

There is good and bad within the nhs as there is with everything but you do expect less of it in a profession where care is supposed to be the cornerstone.
