More than 25 mins now! My appointment was at 5pm...
A guy has just gone in to see my GP so I'm hoping I'll be after him!

Finally the music has stopped!

Yay! That's good :)

Back from the GPs. All is well pretty much!

Yay for you Beckie!

Thanks :)

Got slimming world later I'm so tired today!

Good luck at slimming world love!

I'm waiting for my boyfriend to arrive. WE have to have a SRS BSNS conversation :( But also fun times because we always have fun. I'm cooking seabass, sweet potato and broccoli for dinner!

I hope the conversation will be productive <3

Beckie, my psych always makes me wait. Last time it was roughly an hour and I think that was genuinely the shortest wait I've ever had for an appointment. I know though it is because she takes the time to listen to her patients and to figure out what type of help they would like. So it's worth it.

Thanks J, slimming world went very well! :)
I hope the conversation went ok x

My GP is the same. She always takes the time to listen and never rushes you. It's worth the wait to see someone like that!

I also get quite a lot of input when it comes to med and treatment options.
And I emailed her last month and got a reply within like two days!!!
Which is genuinely crazy.

That's good!

I don't know about others but here I don't think you generally get psychs email addresses. Well, when I went for a private consultation I had their email address. And I can contact my neurologist by email.

It is on her business card that she once gave me. Pretty sure you can't find it online so I imagine she only gives it out to patients she thinks will be responsible with it.

That would make sense.
I've had mobile phone numbers for professionals in the past but not all of them give them out.
My current one doesn't. Which is a shame really because sometimes it would be soooo much easier if I could just text rather than call!
If I was a professional I don't think I'd want everyone to have my personal email and mobile. Like you said, only the people I'd think would be responsible with it. Or people that were going to send me random cute pictures of snakes. Can never have enough pictures of snakes.

I know my psych ' s email address but only because I Googled him and it came up. Never emailed him though. I know it's him because he's the only doctor in the country with that name.

I can't even remember my psychs name.
They keep coming and going randomly.

I have had my current psych for 10 years next year. So much has changed since then. I have a appointment with him next month.

Wow that's a long time!!
Every psych I see only lasts a max of 6-12 months and then leaves with no warning!
It's very random.

Our psychs tend to stay around too, same one since 2012 ish, though hadn't seen her in over two years until late August of this year.
Might have to do with differences in the health system though. But doctors of any kind tend to stay in one place/one practice most of the time.

Hm.
Maybe I drive them away?

I know of other people who's mental health care was never very consistent. Probably depends a lot on your area?

I have lived in many different areas and it's always the same!!
GPs tend to be pretty consistent though
