Also yeah if a doctor told me to take off my bandage so he could look at it and I couldn't put it on myself, I'd be fuckin' pissed if he didn't help and instead told me to wait 45 minutes.

X-rays are neither expensive* or time consuming if you're just getting a limb done. *Unless you are in capitalist Amerikkka.

Aramoro posted:Yeah we have small injury clinics where you can go an and get yourself x-rayed if you fancy. Yeah minor injury clinics exist and are the most appropriate place to go for a small break like that because they're usually located in hospitals so they can x-ray and treat straight away. If you're a UK citizen and your response to having to wait for NHS treatment is to want to write a lovely review of the clinic, you're either a selfish piece of poo poo or literally do not understand the current situation re: NHS funding. If you want the service to be better (and it does need to be better!) get up and fight for it because otherwise, in 10 years time, its not going to exist anymore. Blaming individual doctors for the situation is exactly what the people who are trying to sell it off want. I'd also like to know who put the support bandage on this babyman in the first place.

I'm fine with "the wait will be 90 minutes". I'm not fine with "the wait will be 45 minutes" -> one minute appointment resulting in arm getting worse -> "the wait will be 45 minutes". That's just wasting his time 100%, there's no gain in productivity from splitting those into different activities. Surely the nurse who will have time to bandage his arm in 45 minutes could have also done the one minute glance-over part.

He’s wasting everyone else’s time and the doctor and nurses time in the office are far more important than his. His hand wasn’t magically worse after the doctor manually examined it, he’s fine. All you Americans really need to grow up about this.

Generally the NHS won't put an old bandage back on, especially not a slip on one which is doing nothing. If we was supposed to see a nurse it would have been to have it bandaged properly. The nurse can't do the check over because she didn't spend 7 years training to become a Doctor? Different people have different jobs, even if they work in the same building.

The bandage wasn't doing anything, there is no "correct" way to bandage a suspected arm fracture so the doctor was correct in saying that he didn't have the expertise to wrap this idiot's fashion accessory in just the way that he expected. Only asking the patient to wait 45 minutes to provide ad hoc no-cost, unnecessary comfort "treatment" was a generosity.

Surely the nurse who will have time to bandage his arm in 45 minutes could have also done the one minute glance-over part. Nurses aren't diagnosticians. I've been in almost the exact same situation as this guy on a number of occasions and 20 years ago you'd have been seen & diagnosed by the doctor and if you needed bandaging or bloods, you'd then go and wait a few minutes to be seen by a nurse. Then they consolidated the 3 different clinics in my catchment area into one mega-clinic and fired a third of the staff, so now you have to wait three weeks for an appointment, get seen and then wait 45ish minutes to see a nurse. The issue isn't the system (which, when properly staffed is just fine productivity-wise and allows you to be seen by the most appropriate professional for your needs) the issue is overcrowding and underfunding which, again, is 100% deliberate. I'm not saying this guy didn't have an annoying experience, but he comes across - by his own description, no less - as a total numpty.

It wasn’t even an arm bandage. If it was his arm it would marginally make some sense. It was his goddamn hand.

ArbitraryC posted:Money's on this dude fishing for painkillers and really upset he got brushed off. It's much less of a thing in the UK, painkillers are very strictly controlled. I think it really is what it looks like. Personally I think the guy has a bit of a point, more likely the doctor was just being kind of lovely. If the procedure is so simple, just put the bandage back on for the broken hand man. All it does is stress the system out more to put the guy back on a waiting list to get it done by a nurse. Just seems like a case of "I'm far too important to bother with this menial task, better delegate it and waste an hour of their time instead of a minute of mine."

Like the amt of time you've spent spinning a narrative of a whiny entitled baby pouting and demanding poo poo at a doctor is loving amazing, all for the crime of "hoping his injured limb would get put back to the previous state" When human beings look at a doctor's office, and see the people streaming in and out apparently they don't see fellow human beings receiving care, they see a giant bunch of babies wasting their loving Tax Dollars - and this is in the UK. Well done everyone.

One of the “pluses” of the American health care system is the attitude that you can boss your damned doctor around like a cashier at McDonald’s and also ask them to prescribe you things you saw a television commercial for.

Al Borland Corp. posted:I kind of assumed his bandage was self made/administered and the doctor didn't want to touch it. Yeah I think it was. Maybe he hasn't touched a bandage in 30 years or something and didn't want to look like an idiot. Either way, I think in an ideal world, if a GP asks you to take off your bandage but refuses to help you bandage it up again properly, that's pretty dumb. Ham Sandwiches posted:The flipside of having free health care is apparently a bunch of people chiming in on how you didn't really need to see that doctor, you spoiled baby, you're just using up all the doctors for the rest of us, and it loving owns. From GPs I know, it's a coin flip whether the person they see has any real need to be there at all, and almost all their work is just rubberstamping to move people through the system or telling people there's nothing wrong with them. The only exception is when a Sikh person walks in, in which case you basically call an ambulance because they're probably about to die of something.
