Chest infection still not cleared.

[Guest guest]

HI ALL

Having been to my GP yesterday he has put me on some more Clarithromycin

as he can still hear some crackles. My old childhood GP years ago instructed my

Mother to raise the foot of the bed, so could this be the thing to do today.

I also asked him if he had researched what to give me as far as thyroxine was

concerned, but all he said was that the rheumatologist would sort it out.

I got in touch with the rheumatolist's secretary, but both the rheumatolists are

on holiday until MONDAY, but when I mentioned that I was told that he would sort

my thyroid gland out I was told that it was not the case. I also gleaned from it

that they may decide that I need to be seen by a different specialist, so how

confusing can a patient get by all this.

I also have to give it to my GP of years ago as there were not the antibiotics

then but he managed to get me better without them, and neither did they get the

wages of todays generation of Doctors.
