My nob works really well ATM

[Ariel Badger]

But one day it might fail. My old Dr was the same age as me and I regarded him as a friend (he once punched my lights out when we were pissed). If I had a bit of a problem down there I could talk it over with him but he has retired early. My new Dr is as fit as a butchers dog but we do not have that connection and I would not feel happy pulling my plonker out with her other than in a social situation. My old Dr understood my lifestyle, if my ribs were broke he would tell me how to strap them on a race day and splint up ripped muscle and supply a bit of Tramadol so I could get on a bike.
I do not doubt the new Drs qualifications and professionalism but I miss the empathy.

You must thank god that like many here, if you do have any problems you can pop it on the table, take a pic and ask for advice on here.

(ps, celery and duct tape makes an excellent marital splint in an emergency)

The good news is that your new doctor will require a chaperone in there as well as you are of differing sex and have a issue of a personal nature.

So there will be a witness to the following: "Ok Mr Ariel, lets get things out se we can see if there is a underlying issue"

"I need it all out Mr Ariel"

"Oh, it is all out *squints*"

I wouldn't worry about the odd bit of Tramadol, these new doctors are prescription happy. I went to mine (newly qualified young woman) in November because I thought I had bust a rib after I told her there was no way I was going to hospital, she prescribed me enough codeine and diazepam (not sure why diazepam) to kill a large elephant, she spent most of the 10 minute appointment asking me about my bike that was parked outside her window.

I used to really like DF118s - little codeine tablets that worked brilliantly with a couple of cans and hot knives. But I haven't seen them for years, and last time I managed to get a couple they were rubbish. I think they'd been hanging around a while and lost their strength, do they do that?? Meanwhile my doctor is plural - it's a group practice and you never see the same person from one year to the next.

P.S. Ariel, you can buy the necessary meds on the net quite easily should things deteriorate.

I know what you mean. When I was at Uni, I had an excellent Doctor. I came to him with some very bizarre shit in my "I have ready access to medical journals and amphetamines" phase of my life.

He always handled everything with cheer and a quick google image search.

He would have laughed at my "Only a deep sense of unease" answer to the Austrian doctor's "What do you feel now?", while wiggling a finger up my harris.
