Line 85: Line 85:
 <blockquote>In the UK we do have a right to ask for a copy of test results, even under NHS rules, but it's not quite as simple as it is in the US. I've found it best to write test results down, or if it's a huge raft of tests, I ask them to send a copy to my GP. It's much easier for your GP to make a printout on the spot than trying to get hospital admin to do, well, anything, frankly.  <blockquote>In the UK we do have a right to ask for a copy of test results, even under NHS rules, but it's not quite as simple as it is in the US.

-<blockquote>Remember when feeling frustrated about the lack of willingness of some doctors to listen to your argument for the MP, we also have doctors that have listened, and that are helping many of us on this treatment, which can only be considered highly experimental by those same doctors.+<blockquote>//Some language [we] used in the appointment request that may or may not be helpful to other people needing to seek this kind of advice://
  
-Change is slow to happen.  It seems to be the nature of most people to resist change.+[Patient] is on an experimental program involving off-label use of a drug and involving a significant uptick in her immune system activity.  Sufficient appointment time will be required to provide that background information to the hematologist.   
  
-Of all of my doctors, GP, Integrated, pulmonologist, cardiologist, psychiatrist, dermatologist, OB/GYN, only the dermatologist refused to listen to any discussion of MP principals (Vitamin D, in this case.)  All of the rest were either very supportive or did not offer any resistance or argument against our undertaking the MP.+We will bring background information and contact information so that the researcher may be consulted.  Consultation with the researcher is vital, as any weaning or alteration of her program must be done carefully and sudden discontinuation can be dangerous. [Patient] desires to find a safe way to continue the program, as it has provided improvement in her condition (very severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and hope for an improved long-term outcome.
  
 +That background information can be sent prior to the visit by email, if that is preferred.
  
-Again, I think it is a mistake to demonize the entire medical profession.  The very system (which includes research,  funding, Big Pharm interests, and human nature) is not supportive of scientific theories or findings  outside of the status-quo, and even then I read it takes new findings 17 years to make it to the bedside.+We have selected [...] based on the short bios on the website, but will see any experienced hematologist who is willing to work with her as a partner and on a case that is a bit atypical.
  
-Most doctors, nurses and other health professionals care deeply about their patients.  And I also wish to say, that in the 8 years I worked in Intensive care and the ER, I never saw anyone intubated that was not in respiratory failure and on the verge of dying.  That is my experience.+Thank you!
