    I am amazed at how many GPS miss serious health issues simply because they don't listen to the patients. I hear this over and over again, what is wrong with the training of doctors that they are constantly putting people in an early grave . I will light a candle for you and pray for your recovery. You have a great attitude, good luck in the future.

    What a brilliant attitude you have Mohamnad. I makes me want to scream when I hear that these Doctor's never take symptoms seriously enough, until things reach a dangerous level. You had to advocate for yourself and insist on being tested and thank God you have private health care. You have suffered so so much, but I'm happy that you are here. Thank you so very much for sharing. I will pray for your continued journey back to strength and that you are all clear. Mary🙏💕

    Very brave and well-spoken man. This happens too often in the UK. GP's don't seem to think adults in there 30's can get things like bowel cancer. Sadly, it's always misdiagnosed as IBS, and you're sent away with tablets. I really hope cancer screening becomes a far more regular occurrence, especially in people who have genetic links to a certain cancer.

    I would not take the doctors word for anything. They assume that it’s only a minor thing and by the time they find out that it’s more serious a lot of times. It’s too late and this happens a lot of other illnesses too. You have to speak for yourself and that’s what I did when I went to the doctor for lump in my throat.

    You know something is wrong. You go to a doctor and they just fob you off. This needs to stop and they take patients concerns seriously. I had bad psoriasis. Year after year. GP after GP gave me rubbish steroid creams. I insisted on seeing a specialist. A trip to the hospital to see a dermatologist they prescribed me a cream and my psoriasis is gone.
