Actually, non-specialist doctors are one of the most affected by this. If you happen to be lucky enough to suffer from a very rare malaise it doesn't take long on the net to make yourself more knowledgeable than them.
Actually, hope I ain't getting too personal but I took along some information to my doctor that I'd got off the 'net re a permanent female sterilisation procedure he hadn't heard about, one that's practiced in the US (called 'Essure' folks).
I was hoping it was available here, cos it's utterly non-invasive or hormone based etc.
For a very brief moment I was 'educating' him on something he knew nothing of, even though I may have got a bit carried away and made an arse of myself with using medical terminology.
The outcome was he did some investigating and told me only the most exclusive of clinics and very few NHS trusts were offering it here (so he regretted he couldn't even recommned me), and we had a chat about how radical,yet simple and even cost effective it was!
We left with us both concluding, 'hope it becomes available soon'!
Whod've thunk?
