Actually i just talked with him a while ago and he was putting a lawn mower moter back together, after he took it apart and cleaned it and did all that manly stuff to it so he can battle the jungle he has growing in his yard... :D


*perk* He wears a tool belt? :devil:
 
Everyone else seems to be giving great advice, but don't forget this: 'if at first you're not taken seriously, keep going back until you are'!

It's common for doctors to fob people off the first time round, and you may have to fight for the treatment you need if the feelings keep coming back. Not easy when you're ill, but important.

My own GP tries hard not to treat anyone for anything the first time they come to him with a problem, be it depression or a gammy knee, on the principle that most stuff goes away by itself! It took me a while to work that out, and by then I'd already been Sectioned *rolls eyes*.

As for precisely which illness you might be suffering from, it may take a very long time before you find out and it isn't that important at first. Their first priority will be treating your symptoms, and you don't need a diagnosis for that to work. And fixing a lawnmower and teasing Kiten sound like great therapy to me!

Get Well Soon!!

*nods* Doctor's can be complete morons, over paid, no bedside manner, only caring about their next journal entry not that the patient is freaking out, coplete morons. Hopefully, he will get the nice, gentle, actually caring more about their patients than the next car they can buy, kind of doctor *crosses fingers*

Hey, can we get an AV of Betticus in a toolbelt AND the Italian Leather belt???!!! :devil:

for starters, tool belts </3. Girls can get away with it, sorta, guys can't, nobody's sodomizing Aeroil if they've had one on that day.

Second, I'm always the first to say that our medical system is barbaric - but Doctors aren't morons - even though I'm also the first one to say that the educational system does not measure people's levels of intelligence in any way.

Still, gracie, when you go to school over for seven years to study one subject, instead of - whatever you have - then you can have a grounds for talking down to doctors as a whole.

Now, if you want to talk trash about *specific* doctors, go ahead, you're allowed to do that ^_^
 
I had a cat once that was absolutely terrified of men with tool belts.

Fury :rose:

Tease kiten again, talk about spankings.
Go to the club and watch my buddies show.
Make kiten go to bed.
Leave out cookies for Graceanne to find.
Annoy random people.

And yet no where in there was how you were feeling.

toolbelts - macho - ignorant drunken prick.
 
Tool belts...I think of comedian, Tim, "The Toolman" Taylor...whatshisname? All macho madness! I like smart...not saying Betticus is not smart...it's just that this appeals way more than toolbelts.

Even Sean.....if he can make me lay my King down...well...

But not many can. At best a stalemate.

Or I say: Checkmate, sweet!

Lay that king down, baby!

hee hee!

:devil:

Doctors may not be morons in the technical sense, but they do fail to make full use of any intelligence they have so you have to compensate by using your own. Best to make things nice and simple for them, so they understand. All Betticus has to do is say is that he's going to kill someone, and look convincingly homicidal while he does it (waving a knife helps), and the fear of litigation if he does kill someone will get him banged up without his shoelaces in no time.

Of course that may not be the desired effect, so I personally recommend just listing simple, easy-to-follow symptoms. Have a gander at a medical site, using 'depression', 'mania', 'psychosis', 'delusions', etc. as search words (in uk, anyway), and see which words and phrases best fit how you're feeling. The problem is that docs don't understand plain English, and your average sufferer doesn't understand medical jargon. Anything you can do to narrow the communication gap is worthwile.

One very important point though: don't ham it up and say you've got symptoms you don't have, or you'll end up regretting it!
 
tool belt? nahhhh- covers up the best bit! Mind you, I'll go a long way to find a man who can put up some shelves for me- I really can't be arsed to do it myself! :eek:
