Survey reveals shocking lack of specialist care

The medical profession is a one-size-fits-all establishment but each patient must be individually tailored for, it almost sounds contradictory. As research and understanding of the human body moves ever forward and different styles and types of afflictions are discovered, catalogued and diagnosed the wealth of knowledge has to be more than any one human can have at instant recall. It must be impossible for a GP, Nurse, General Medic to know within a blink of an eye whether a patient is MD, MND or MS or something else let alone the sub-types and as every patient travels their road differently there are an infinite number of variables to equate [can you tell I’ve been watching Numbers, lol].

I have always thought, I am the expert in my FSH, it may not be the text book version . I need this and either you get it for me or find out who I go to [stroppy madam alert, lol]. I always ask at a first meet, do you know much about MD and/or FSH and I know the answer from the glazed eyes staring back at me,and I always tell tem”You need to look here” and pass www details or leaflets.

The problem is reaching that balanced compromise point, where the medical person knows medically best and the patient knows intimate first hand best and between the two proper, reliable, efficient, effective care can be given maintained and amended as symptoms/needs shift.
