Doctor rant!
Ever since I was a little girl I have never liked going to a male doctor. Today I booked in for an appointment to discus a few things.. Only doctor was a male so I thought what the heck they can't all be bad. So I went in and being 14 weeks pregnant and working horrible shift work I explained that I'm really struggling to sleep for longer than 3 hours a night and am exhausted because of it. Also working till 10pm means I have a late dinner causing horrible heart burn and sometimes even sickness, all I was asking for was a recommendation to my work for a more stable work rotation until I go on mat leave. Hardly the world! My work are normally really good but can't be seen to do something at the drop of a hat otherwise everyone would want the same, so they ask for a doctors note just so they can justify it.
He basically told me I'm not sick I'm pregnant, he also gets tired and heartburn.. And said I shouldn't be wasting his appointment time especially considering how much NHS time and support I am getting because I'm pregnant like midwife apts ect... I was stunned and got home and cried am I being a cry baby or was he a horribly rude man !?
