Jims continued use of Fumaderm

[jiml]

Well that was pretty much a waste of time ....I had a 4.40 appointment got there 10 minutes early rather than be late, but shouldn't have worried ..it was 5.20 before I was called in to see a different dermatologist

She just renewed my prescription for Fumaderm and I asked for enstilar for the little flare I had and got a prescription for that and left ....I felt it was a waste of her time and more importantly of my time ....but at least I got another 4 months Fumaderm supply

Well like you say the positive is you got more fumaderm. We must all keep the positives, yes it sounds a disappointing meeting but to be fair Jim you didn't really want anything else as your mind was made up just like me before you went there.

You keep an eye on things yourself and it's probably in your notes that you know the score, so to be fair there could be a psoriasis newbie in more need and your appointment is more of just a renewal of prescription. If you are like me I tend to tell my dermatologist more than she can tell me and she is often surprised about my knowledge even though she knows me well.

Don't get me wrong and yes delays are annoying and we all deserve good treatment but you have only wasted a a couple of hours of your time to get what you want and wouldn't really want to change anything would you ?

Yes you're right   ..and I got what I went for but to be honest it could have been done on the phone .....I have suggested phone consultations before and said I would call in if I needed more attention ....they could use my appointment for more urgent cases ...it would be no different to  the "consultation" I had today
