I do probably again… Because you feel, you do feel like a bit of a victim, and you do feel like, I don't like being talked down to, and so, sometimes, not everybody, but some people can talk down to you a little bit. As soon as you've got a problem, you know, they can talk down to you a little bit, and then and you don't really want to listen then. I don't anyway because I'm not very good at that. But I do like to find things out for myself, and but I also do ask lots of questions as well. I mean if I want to know anything I do ask questions so.
Have you built up a particularly strong relationship with any of the people looking after you, without naming names?
No. I my doctor is particularly good and she is, and my diabetic nurse at the doctors is quite she's very good. At the diabetic clinic you always see different people, so I never, you know the doctors I never, I don't think I've seen the same doctor twice I don't think. So I wouldn't say you have a sort of relationship there really. Although, I do see regular people at the podiatrist and they're very good.
Talk to me about podiatry. What works there?
I think it's because as soon as I've got a problem, I just have to ring up, and they know I'm not just, you know, they know it's genuine with me, and they know that, you know I really have got a problem if I'm ringing up so they see me straightaway. They always do. And they're very straight forward, and they're very direct with you know, the advice they give me, and they it's all common sense. And I mean, you know, like just for instance all the time I had the dressing on my foot, I mean, I did the dressing on my foot. I had to dress my foot myself everyday twice a day for a year, and they were fine about that I never felt like I wasn't doing it right or whatever, I felt always felt okay about… Everything that I was doing, so that was good. |
