A morning in general practice.. what did I see ? These are some of the typical consultations

I haven't done one of these in a while, I'd enjoy it, the last time I did it was so long ago. I'm just going to give you a rundown on some of the consultations that have been seen. So, on this particular day, I saw a routine antenatal, actually two in a row. Then I saw a lady who had been in treatment for breast cancer, so she was in for follow-up with me. She'd completed her treatment and was just trying to get back to normal. So we had a few things to discuss around that. Then I had an elderly lady who surprisingly actually was in an abusive relationship. She was well into her 70s, 50 plus years with her husband, but things had deteriorated and she found herself in a very difficult situation, kind of trapped. So, a lot to talk about as to what she could do to protect herself. Then I had a transplant patient in for review. He'd had a six-week check, mother and baby, that was cute. And then a younger girl in crisis pregnancy, she was trying to figure out what she wanted to do, how she would manage that. Then I had a lady who'd had a procedure done abroad and she was following up on that. Then there were a few more straightforward ones, a lady with vertigo, another lady with signs of infection. And then a gentleman with a new diagnosis of type two diabetes. That took a little bit of time because there was a bit of education involved in that. And then I had a gentleman with erectile dysfunction. He had tried one medication, wasn't very helpful, so he wanted to explore other options. So, guys, don't be shy to come in and discuss these matters. It's just another bodily part and a bodily function to us when we're at work. So, yeah, don't be shy. It's fine to ask these questions. And so yeah, that's saying that consultations are not the only things we do. We're doing lots of stuff behind the scenes, phone calls, emails, prescriptions, reports, all sorts. And of course, that's a morning here in general practice. Bye.
