My dermatologist at our hospital is superb, she spends time discussing the condition and suggesting treatments. The problem is her department is so busy with all skin conditions she now rarely sees me. I just have to waste around 3hours getting to hospital and sitting around waiting at clinic to have a junior doctor, who does not know me, asks me how it is and if I am happy with the treatment and ask me if I feel I could reduce the tablets. ( I'm not a doctor how would I know) I have my blood tests at my local doctors. So all they should be able to do is monitor the results of my bloods and if out of range call me in
I feel the clinics I attend are a waste of my time and a waste of national health resource.
For example. It takes me around an hour to get to my hospital and try to park my car, sometimes is panic because the traffic is heavy but I generally get there on time. Only to find the clinic is running 45 minutes late, I spend less than 10 minutes with the junior doctor (who when I saw him last he was training at medical school) I then have to fight my way through traffic to get back home.
Once a year would be plenty for me whilst I am controlling it well
Oh sorry it's turned into my pet rant
