Re: Why didn't I know this???

Ha! Well one of these 'professionals' was the one who recommended I 'seek

pschiatric help' I'll let you take a guess as to who is was Shelia!

Unbelievable.. I'm shocked that his person is in such a position. He also

proceeded to tell me his personal life which made me feel very uncomfortable.

I'm shocked. x

and Sheila, woah I'm not at all shocked that the person referred to is

in this kind of position: the old adage '.... whatever floats to the top'

generally - not always - applies! Just wondering if he's the same as my

encounter with one of those BTA members?

One of them is he to whom I refer when stating how disgusting some so-called

professionals are:(I usually say I wanted to " punch his lights out " ). So stunned

at the time it happened (the details are off the planet!), I complained to my

GP. On my next hospital visit for blood sugar results?, which I already had from

GP, yet had been referred re poss. hypothyroidism (no such tests or exam was

conducted; he instead asked to see my stomach " which can show hypothyroid

signs " !), he came out (to bursting to seams waiting room) to speak to me and

announce to all how he would not be seeing me today!? I told his colleague how

HE'd even said, " Not to bother exercising, it would just redistribute weight " -

the colleague spluttered! With regard to hypothyroidism - not endocrinology per

se - this one should not be left with a lab rat!

Whilst detesting doing this, experience from younger days has since led to my

managing to 'get in' my academic background in psychology/ decades of work in

mental health and family 'medical connection', in my attempt to get the beggars

to realise I won't put up with any such junk from them. So far its worked... not

one has even suggested depression or worse, yet I still remain sneeringly

untreated by them.

Wonder who it is, eh? The public needs a warning list alright!
