That’s another thing I would like is a lot more direction as to what I should be doing and I think my GP should be doing that. I just this question here. If you can’t run are you how much benefit are you getting from walking? And should you stop calcium? I don’t know. You know, I have no cardiac risk factors so is it more important to stay on the calcium to protect myself against osteoporosis or is it more important that I’m likely to have some cardiac problem. I don’t even know.
You know, I think the GP should be telling me that. And I don’t and they I don’t think they take the initiative to say those things even if you go for a check-up which is very hard to get them to. I mean you have to go with knee pain or you have to go with, you know I don’t know maybe twelve drugs or can’t sleep because I’ve got hip pain [laughs]. That get their attention but they don’t address your overall health so you don’t get patient education that you should I think. And I don’t think and the nurses don’t do it either unless it’s something very specific if you ask them, ‘Can you help me look at my coeliac disease?’ Then they’re its they’re very willing and they’ll they don’t know everything but they know a lot and they will help. But there’s no holistic view of patient health I feel.
