Regarding
this post, a letter to my GP about my asthma meds.
What I wanted to write:I am writing to complain about the way that various members of the practice have become obsessed with trying to reduce my asthma medication. I would like this letter to be formally added to my medical notes so that I no longer have to waste my valuable breath

I understand both of your points, and they would definitely apply if I was posting the letter. However, I'm going to take the letter to a consultation with the doctor in question, where I will discuss it briefly and leave it for him to read properly outside of our pathetic 10 minute slot. I'd originally planned to drop it through the surgery letterbox (it's just down the road), but then my leg decided to start falling off, and I need to go & see them about that. There's something Wrong with my right hip, which has induced a problem in my right calf muscle, and it needs attention in case it's serious. It's been bad enough that I considered A&E except that, me being me and having had crap joints for years, I don't see the point of seeing a doctor who doesn't have access to my complete medical records. I'm *hoping* that the records at my current GP still contain all my previous X-rays from two GPs ago.
I actually have a list of about 7 things that I need to discuss, but 10 minute slots are not enough, so it's only ever the most urgent 2-3 problems that come up :/ Why do I have to be so unhealthy?
