Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks , the appointment is to discuss my views (as they put it) and not for the vaccination (well it better not be otherwise they have misled me). The nurse gave me such a talking down to at the 8 week check up the doctor just about crawled under the table in shame, but I calmly stood my ground. Don't feel like going through that again any time soon so may mention considering going private with the single vacc.

As you are up the road form me, i think the Doctors surgerys must be low on funds! BTW if you did go private and get your daughter vaccinated you dont have to inform the surgery at all and they cant do nothing about this.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 You do not know the grilling that I had about my daughter .....it started in the hospital 24h after her birth ....but I didn't lie said that I already have a autistic child do not want another one if she is then I can safely say that it was not due to vaccines which in way goes to their favour , I have the health visitor coming on the 4th so that is going to be fun, but I said that if they were prepared to sign a paper to me saying that my daughter would never have autism then I would vaccinate her of course they said they could not guarantee that .....and I said well then our conversation is over, grabbed my daughter put her on the buggie and walked out ....still get the notes 2 per month but they go straight on the bin. I have consider the separate ones at breakspear but in the end decided against, each vaccine would cost £100 plus with all the expenses and some of them they don't do separate, except for MMR they cannot make you do it, just be firm or stubborn which one you prefer and they soon get tired if you can bother to go to the appointment I wouldn't .... claudia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 totally right Mandi went today to the GP for referrals and the answer was that the NHS may not have funding and that he has to talk to the a*** of his Pediatrician ....and me thinking that the GP's had the independence to send people to services if needs justify it .....when is to spend money they don't call you they don't even remember that you exist .... rant over .....

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I just wouldnt go, got better things to do (like watching paint dry) than to justify to someone (who hasnt got a real clue and only wants the commision) the reasons why i wouldnt want my child vaccinated, they havent made it maniditory so you dont need to justify yourself to anyone.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Bollocks, he can make the referral, you have to be seen for them to decide they are going to do nothing and then you have a right to a second opinion, do they think we are stupid? Well yes having been a practice manager for 15 years, they actually do! Mx totally right Mandi went today to the GP for referrals and the answer was that the NHS may not have funding and that he has to talk to the a*** of his Pediatrician ....and me thinking that the GP's had the independence to send people to services if needs justify it .....when is to spend money they don't call you they don't even remember that you exist .... rant over .....

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Its still the case, before the 'new contract' they got paid for each jab they gave, somebody opted out, no problem at all. This money is generally used to help pay the nurses who give it. Then new contract withdrew that funding completely and made it so you ONLY get paid anything if you reach the target. Kids on the list start being counted from 12 months until the quarter of their 5th birthday. Each quarter Health authority sends them a list which they check and thats when they start getting antsy and chasing the non responders, when income dives to lower target or doesn't even make that one. Its the governments way of making the GP's do their dirty work. Practice nurses (RN's) are mostly G or H grade which in hospitals would mean you were in charge of at least one ward and work all hours, in GP surgery, no nights, no weekends, no unsociable hours, rarely working without on site medical backup, that's why nurses have to pay for themselves, a full timer long time in post costs more than an assistant GP who does visits and on call.............

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I had a couple of phone calls from our GP re the MMR (my son has not had it) and they asked me to make an appointment and I didn't make it, what was there to say? I didn't want the MMR, nothing left to say. Now he's nearly 8 years old they don't ever mention it anymore. Good luck!Darla x I received a call from our local surgery this evening asking me to see the doctor ASAP in order to discuss my views on keeping my 12 month old daughter unvaccinated. I made my views clear the day her very first vaccination was due at 8 weeks old at her appointment, I also phoned the NHS vaccination dept and they said informing my doc was sufficient. We never received another notification until the MMR two weeks ago but I never called to make an appointment. Is this standard procedure as I get the feeling I am going to be pulled over the coals about this? I saw on the news yesterday there have been 2 seperate rubella outbreaks in Hampshire and I know there has been a lot of concern regarding the Olympics bringing a measles outbreak, I get the feeling somewhere along the line surgeries have been told to knuckle down. Your advice on what to say at this appointment, which is on Tuesday, would be well appreciated as usual. Thank you all. Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
