I went into the doctors with a sore knee about 4 weeks ago. It's okay now.

However, today my brother was at the docs, and because it was a skeleton staff (no pun intended! ), my bruv saw my doc.

To cut a long story short, he told me she was more interested in asking how I was than dealing with his ailment.

Whatever happened to doctor/patient confidentiality???

That's very true, she shouldn't be discussing your medical conditions with anyone

I went to the doctors the other day and said: Doctor I feel like Im a dog

"just sit on the couch over there" he said

"Im not allowed on the couch" I said

Exactly what I thought. She's only young about 32 or 35.

Last time I was in there she hugged me.

I wish I could change her.

Oh I like you

Why can't you change her?

Sounds like a nice friendly lady who cares for your wellbeing, probably didn't think anything of it if its just a sore knee you had

It's very hard to get ONE doctor round here, never mind chop and change.

[Samm]

It's only a sore knee lol, she wouldn't share it if it was something serious

She shouldn't discuss me with anyone else. She is breaking the rules.

I couldn't care less if it were a cut finger.

Oh, it's pretty easy to change Doctor here

[thesheriff443]

your doctor treats you as a real person, and yet she is in the wrong.

maybe you would like a doctor that kicks you in the balls and says does that hurt.

[lostalex]

omg, your doctor was interested in your well-being. shame on her. You should file a law suit and make sure she never works in the medical profession again.

Some people are into that sort of thing .

OP: You're right, she shouldn't really be discussing your ailments with other people, it might seem like a minor thing but it's not really up to her to decide what you're OK with other people knowing about your physical condition. I mean, you can argue that it's "only a sore knee" - but then, what if someone has a casual manual job and they REALLY need the money, and then their doctor blabs about a sore knee (that might now be fine) to a family member, who then mentions it to the employer, and they decide to let that person go because they might not be fit. You just never know, I guess.

The hugging... is quite weird if she's not a personal acquaintance and it's come out of nowhere :/. I don't really like ANYONE hugging or touching me (arm around shoulder, things like that) other than my wife and kids... even my close friends and other relatives I find it uncomfortable. If my doctor did it I'd be quite disturbed

I saw my doctor the other day and showed him my leg and saidf

"it hurts when I do this (i moved it up and to the side)"

he said "dont do that then"


I know they get paid a lot but really its all worth it.

[user104658]

The ones who tell you to go home and get over yourself a bit are the ones worth paying double. Most would have given you antibiotics "just in case".

I dont think iv been to one in like 12 years?

She's a Doctor though she's not supposed to discuss your medical conditions with anyone, no matter how trivial she might think it is

[Kizzy]

It's a sore knee not the clap... As said the fact she is conscientious enough to ask is admirable.

[Amy Jade]

I think it's nice. I went over Christmas and my doctor asked how my Nan was because she's been ill and I thought it was really considerate.
