Recent medical problems snowed me more of the healthcare from the patient's side.
I am a retired GP, and I was always aware of the power I had to make people miserable.
I tried to have that power in check.
So, the recent experience of waiting 14 hours for an ambulance, of a specialist telling me 14 years ago, "Yes, this is Parkinson's, come back in 6 months when it is worse." NOT IF < WHEN; ;;
The hospital nurses not giving me my Parkinson's medication, a carer putting in her notes that I probably consumed some alcohol, (a British TV personality who has Parkinson's also had a t-shirt made " I'm not pi...., I’ve got Parkinson's...")
SO, I DECIDED TO STEERT A BOOK. FICTION.
The main character will be a health professional who gets ill with an annoying but not terminal illness, and her change of situation puts her to the other camp. The patients.
It was probably written before. But maybe I will add a new view. I'm planning to make the book a bit funny. Not very funny, just a bit...
Watch this space.
