| Re: Do you trust your doctor?
when i got glandular fever i saw a total of three GPs. each of them gave me increasingly bigger pills which had no effect and were almost impossible for me to swallow. i said (wrote, actually, i couldn't talk) to each of them "could it be glasndular fever?" since a hundred people had suggested that would make sense. "nope" they all replied.
when i was finally admitted to hospital, the ENT consultant would bring a group of students around each day and get em to look down my throat, saying "this is a textbook case of glandular fever. this is what glandular fever looks like. if you see this, it's glandular fever. there will never be a more illustrative example of glandular fever than what you're currently looking at."
doctors are clever people who know far more than i do, but it's hard not to wish for a teeny bit more reliability in this kinda situation.
