Have cradlecap gp didn’t understand what to do but did prescribe me best shampoo and accepted reason why it’s probably flared up.Another gp I saw there months ago with this asked me did I want a carer to wash my hair.She didn’t understand I was more than capable of washing my hair.I’use a wheelchair.I’ve had recent back pain which ignored because didn’t want to feel like a time wasting attention seeker.No sign of Urinary tract infection so I thought I’d just stained my back as the pain wasn’t to bad.Pain worse last week and manager told me to contact specialist secretary.She told me to go straight to A and E.I didn’t want to bother gp again.Because I have spina bifida Had boughts Of anaemia,cradlecap and now more kidneystones I didn’t want certain gps and practice nurse getting the wrong impressions thinking I could not look after myself.I also did not want to appear to be an attention seeking time waster.One particular gp there does understand all my health issues and I wish he was the gp looking after me.It’s my current gps fault they’re just not seeing many patients with spina bifida,hydrocephalus and renal problems related to spina bifida.However it would be good if some of your gps and nurses didn’t come to the wrong conclusions just because I have a physical disability.However receptions have always been very respectful and always do their best to help.I had loads of surgery throughout my life and hospitals,gp’s,A and E,treatment rooms etc are the last places I want to be.!!!
