No My Dear!

No My Dear!

No my dear, there is no link, it doesn't cause these pains.

Your neck is only achey, the swelling? Just your veins.

Pain in hips? Oh no my dear, it simply isn't true.

There is no proven link you see,just wives tales told to you.

A headache with some dizziness? I think my dear you'll find,

that you've been overdoing it, it's all just in your mind.

Twitching eyelid? Not at all. your eye test came back clear.

It's not related, check the data, then you'll see my dear.

Oh my goodness! Don't be daft! It can't make you forget!

We all get blanks as we grow old, it's down to that I'll bet.

Pay no heed to scaremongers, they're only there for show.

My dear I'M the professional, it's me who's in the know.

This story goes forever more because, as we all learn.

It's only A.N warriors can give us what we yearn.

We owe so much to those who trod this very path before,

For only through their honesty did knowledge find a door.

Hey DONNA!!.... haven't caught your stuff in a while.......I Love that you wrote on this subject matter.....I deal with Doctors A LOT!!...... and its been one of the most difficult undertakings of my life..... finding the right one for you personally is a near impossibility without all the right insurance and money involved...... and having been misdiagnosed so many times is truly frightening....I know this is satirical...... but it's so well presented...... from picture to intent....... that it came across to me as heroic!! (smiles)......LOVE IT!!......ALL STARS!!.......thanx for this!!..... just what I needed to read today!!....... LOVE and ROCKETS!!......T xo.  ?

Hi there Tony, thank you so much for your comments. I suppose i'm lucky, in a weird way, because here, on the NHS we don't get any choices as such, although we have the right to insist on a 2nd opinion. I am fortunate enough to be under the neurosurgery team at Kings College hospital, in London and it is  world renowned for training and research.... In fact I actually felt a tad cheated in the latest high tech MRI 'cos it was so fast and quiet lol.

Me 'n' "Sid" rub along okay most days lol.

I would really appreciate your opinion on "Ride" if you don't mind please Tony? It was a free flowing write and I wasn't really aware of the tempo and style changes until I read it back through. If you hate it be honest. After all i'm a tough, feisty and somewhat opinionated person, which often results in criticism for me......ho hum......lol.

Hello Donna...

Doctors still try and use their physician language with me...

It's funny now...

I have them sit down and I tell them what I know...

By the time I'm done talking to them...

They don't ask me if I have any questions anymore...

I ask them if they do...

Great write! 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Hahaha I know just what you mean! My last copy of letter from hospital to GP includes the paragraph......." .....although wanted further discussion as to the merits of radiosurgery versus surgery. I discussed with her in detail..........blah blah blah.....although she is clearly very well read on the subject and knows a significant amount about her condition."

 I think it interprets as 'clever clogs' lol.

He was totally flummoxed when I asked for data covering the % of success to % of patients treated but has said he will try to provide some hahaha. Docs hate people like us!

Thanks for your great comments, much appreciated my colourful chameleon.
