Just back from dermatologist...

[jiml]

My biggest problem was the language barrier. The doctor was (I'm guessing) Eastern European and struggled a little to communicate. I emphasised as strongly as I could I wanted Fumaderm and I understood clearly that his hands were tied but it was impossible to figure out why. I assume from what I could understand that he had been told not to prescribe it but I'm far from sure xxx

Shame perhaps if you can't get on with methotrexate ( because it makes you badly sick   ) you can speak to the hospital and ask for a change and tell them you would prefer a dermatologist with a grasp on the English language

I would definitely have to. I hate to be mean but I have a right to understand and be understood when it comes to my health xxx

I know we need trained doctors and the NHS is short of them but it's no good if we can't understand the doctors they bring in from abroad .... Demand better
