I wouldn't dare to override my landscape gardener....he's the damned expert in his field....albeit in a miniature scale to my own...but even so...

You should have seen my face at the GP a few months back when she asked if I had a specific treatment in mind.

My answer was yes, whatever’s the most effective.

Exactly....It doesn't fill you with a great deal of confidence does it?

Spot on. I drove home wondering if she was stupid, or I came across as a Karen, or if it was just some new NHS nonsense she was being made to do. Probably all three.

Don't need to be a GP to tell your family member to get a vasectomy or a pack of jonnies!

You've touched upon the growing need to act as your own advocate when interacting with the NHS...if it seems kinda strange, jarring to you* , imagine being in your 80's and caring for a loved one, their mindset is one of absolute trust that the state in the person of the Dr's, nurses will always know- do what is best, will always provide good care efficiently...bloody distressing when they discover the ´´system´´ is far removed from this.

*I touched upon this phenomenon when discussing our situation with miscarriage, the wife´s GP´s only advice ´´keep trying´´ and then ´´Well you do your own research, tell me what you need- want´´...but, but you are supposed to be the highly trained medical person, you got all the notes, tasked- responsible with providing oversight, no?

Strange change indeed. I’m sure we all have our own theories.
