I visited my GP yesterday for a routine appointment. This was my first visit to the surgery since they provided palliative care for my DH up to his death from a brain tumour 4 months ago.
A few days before the appointment I had an accident which left me with a badly bruised face (and other bits). I admit that I put on some makeup for the appointment, more for my morale than anything. However I was amazed that the GP ( not one I have met before) did not even query the black eye and heavy bruising to lower jaw,
The problem I had made the appointment for was dealt with in 2 minutes flat and there was no attempt to find out how I was coping.
This is the second time I have felt invisible in the last 4 months. The community Macmillan nurse visited once after my husband's death and left with a promise to be in touch. That was 3 months ago and I have heard nothing since.
I get the impression that our health service does not want to know about the just coping until we finally crack.
