"Dreadful service on a home visit"

First home visit for my 30 year partner and next of kin. The second 17 July was less than satisfactory. During Jon's cancer 'journey' I have been his sole carer, with support from family and friends and the brilliant treatment from paramedics, oncology, nursing staff the list is never ending. I have showered him, fed him and helped him with medication. Jon will answer questions giving you what he thinks you want to hear. Never let the truth spoil a good story. And all have understood, we all know someone like that. Obviously this very inexperienced GP needs some retraining - yes I know who the individual is.

I have lived Jon's cancer from the start.

I started in the lounge with doctor and Jon. When he was asked about how much water he had drunk in the morning he gave an answer he thought she wanted. My response was that wasn't true at which point she told me I could tell my story later and I duly dismissed myself.

Possibly her training with geriatic cancer patients and their carers (especially who know the patient) needs revisiting.
