Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I went to my GP yesterday. I go to a university based office so I see a resident first and then my GP second. This was a new resident I hadn't seen before and we were going over my illnesses and then he was asking how I was feeling lately. The first thing he asked was have you had any rashes. I smiled at him and said, they teach you Stills Disease in med school? Enough that you actually remember it? He said yup, sure do. I told him that made me very happy. The second amazing thing that happened with him is he didn't say one word about my weight. With new docs, esp young ones who haven't seen many complicated cases yet, my weight is always a topic of conversation. Didn't mention a word, which means he must be learning something in med school about people with inflammation problems having weight issues. WAHOOOOOOOO! Just made me happy. Makes me even more happy that it's my college alma mater who is training these guys!! Houston, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 , that's astounding! All of it! My GP, who hasn't been practicing all that long isn't that wise to the inflammatory illnesses and asks me constantly if I'm going to do anything about the weight. I often say to him, " why? Do I look heavy to you? " That's when he rolls his eyes and walks away. I'm stunned, though. Pleasantly surprised, but stunned. They teach this stuff in college now? Have we become that big of a deal? Take care and be well. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
