How do you deal with GPs?!


Question:

How do you deal with GPs?

I have a sick Mother and as a result she has to see the NHS GP often. As she doesn't understand English well, I Often accompany her to the appointments. As a result I am getting frustrated in dealing with the lack of empathy from them. They barely ask question , do a full examination or act as if the patient is important to them. My mum has many illness yet the Doctors don't care. I don't know how can I make them understand, what can I do to get better treatment?


Answers:

Is there anyway you can change doctors she sees? Maybe a different medical group altogether. Or you could go in with her to the next visit and ASK the doctor several questions. Why arent they checking this or that? Didnt he take an oath? etc.

If the doctors are really providing your mom bad medical care, you can always report them to the higher ups.

Best of luck and hope your mom gets the treatment she deserves.
