As the title implies, todays post is a bit shitty. I was flicking through my facebook memories and thought this was such a classic case study of patient blaming that it needed to be a post for easy reference (I hate social media-first content, it’s too hard to ever find again and limits who can see things based on who has an account and so on – blog posts forever, screw social first content).
- Side note doctors – throw your tantrums at someone else.
- Side note to readers – post contains language I wouldn’t use these days.
This is a personal (not public) facebook post of mine from 30th August 2016:
I just saw a GP (not either of the two I usually see) to get a medical certificate so I can request an extension at uni.
Didn’t introduce herself to me, ask what I wanted, just kinda grunted and frowned.
Then she told me off for not having a “reason” for being sick. I’m like well my other doctor has ordered blood test to investigate, look at my file.
But somehow that was my fault? It wasn’t good enough.
I requested a certificate from last Thursday to this Friday. She didn’t like it because it was 8 days not 7 days.
What the actual fuck?
Anyhooo … that was a long wait for a short and fucking stupid 2 min with a GP. Now I have another GP to avoid. Yay!!
