Doctors in the dockWhy are so many of us complaining about our GPs?

The patient-doctor relationship can be complicated. It needs honesty, confidence, and an ability to listen and communicate. Yet last week it emerged that written complaints about NHS hospital and community health services in England had risen more sharply than ever before. The total jumped from 89,139 to 101,077 – a rise of 13.4%. The largest single group of complaints (44% of all cases), involved doctors – double that of nurses, midwives and health visitors combined. The most common complaint was about treatment patients had received (42%), then the attitude of staff (12%).

So what’s going wrong? “For patients and doctors to have a good relationship they need to trust each other, which comes down to personal rapport and openness,” says Dr Paul Hodgkin, a part-time GP and chief executive of Patient Opinion, a website for NHS patients to record their experiences. “People hate doctors when they don’t tell them the truth and feel that they haven’t been treated as equals. Doctors are so much better [at this] than they used to be, but they could be a lot better.”

Katherine Murphy, director of the Patients Association, agrees: “We hear often that the doctor was dismissive, or didn’t have enough time to explain what was going on, or used inappropriate medical terminology.” Health secretary Andrew Lansley wants doctors to routinely offer patients information about their symptoms and the risks and benefits of possible treatments. But Murphy says doctors should go further and automatically refer any patient diagnosed with an illness to support organisations, such as Diabetes UK or Macmillan Cancer Support.

Professor Steve Field, chairman of the Royal College of General Practitioners, says he often looks up the patient’s medical condition on his computer in their presence, especially from the NHS Choices website, to encourage patients to do their own research and ensure there is no misdiagnosis. But he notes that a patient’s own internet research can sometimes be “completely wrong and often they have read into things more than they need to.”

For GPs there is also the problem of the small number of patients who regularly report persistent symptoms such as backaches or headaches which turn out to be psychological in origin. “The patient can be upset, angry and annoyed with you because by saying it’s not a physical problem you aren’t fulfilling their needs,” says Field. Some accept psychological treatment, but others move to another GP.

Yet by far the most frightening reason for a relationship breakdown between doctors and patients is misdiagnosis. The government’s cancer tsar estimates that late diagnosis of cancer costs 10,000 Britons their lives every year, while the Medical Research Council recently revealed that GPs weren’t spotting dementia early enough. Philippa Luscombe, a medical negligence solicitor, says many cases she sees are, “people who have convinced themselves their minor symptoms mean there’s something seriously wrong. Eventually a GP stops taking such patients seriously”. One first-time mother who regularly brought her baby in to see her GP, prompted by its crying, was correctly reassured that nothing was wrong. When she grew concerned about her child’s crawling, the GP – as usual – told her not to worry. However, the baby actually had a congenital hip displacement and the 12 to 18-month delay in identifying the problem meant the child had to have repeated major surgery.

The other misdiagnosed group are fit and healthy people who suddenly complain repeatedly, over a short period of time, of the same problem but aren’t taken seriously. “I have a client who had inflammation of the discs in the neck, which turned into a spinal abscess and then pressed on her spinal column, which is serious,” recalls Luscombe. “This condition was missed by her GP for about four weeks, and if it had not been spotted for a few days more, she would potentially have ended up paralysed, though she still had to have major emergency surgery”.

Luscombe believes that anyone who exhibits a “red flag” symptom – such as muscle weakness, pins and needles, double vision or chest pains – should be investigated. “My concern is too many doctors adopt a wait-and-see policy that can lead to permanent disability or even death”. She has handled cases of previously healthy people not having their symptoms taken seriously including Natalie Naylor, 20, who died after her meningitis was missed.

So what should you do if you don’t feel your GP is taking you seriously? Murphy suggests first challenging the doctor or asking them to justify their diagnosis or suggested treatment. “If that doesn’t work, and the patient feels sure they know what their illness is, they could then ask the doctor to check out some reputable medical websites, such as NHS Choices, and compare what it says about their symptoms.” But if all else fails the surefire way is to”insist on having a second opinion.No doctor will like that, but patients’ rights are more important than doctors’ professional pride, so don’t be put off by the fact that someone’s in a white coat.”

Brilliant fashion designers you’ve never heard ofEveryone knows Christopher Kane is the hottest designer at London fashion week right now – but who are the top designers of the future? Kelly Bowerbank reveals the ones to watchReplica Chanel

(11)Tweet this (12)Kelly Bowerbank guardian.co.uk, Friday 26 February 2010 10.07 GMT Article historyLondon fashion week has streamed past in a blur of orthopaedic shoes, low hemlines and Replica Chanel
considered clashes. With 68 catwalk shows on the official schedule alone, it sure ain’t easy keeping up with who’s hot and who’s not. Yes, Christopher Kane is hot, but tell us something we don’t know … Well, fear not, dear reader! Yours truly has done the hard work for you. For the last six days I’ve dashed from show to presentation to show again, as fast as my fierce heels and the LFW coach would carry me.

In the name of professional research I’ve swiped goody bags, drunk ridiculous cocktails, and made rude gestures in the background of all the street style photographs taken within my vicinity. I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time worrying about death-trap venues in the bowels of Covent Garden (if there was a fire we would surely ALL die, with so much flammable vintage fabric flapping about). But mainly I’ve passed the hours judging. Judging the designers, judging the celebrities, judging the endless parade of ‘original’ fashion week attendees. And all with the sole purpose of giving you the skinny on who to watch out for in 2010.

Michael Van Der Ham The Michael Van Der Ham show. Photograph: Catwalking.com Finding your ‘handwriting’ in fashion is very important. It sounds daft, but your work should be instantly recognisable, yet different enough every season to keep people chomping for more. With his signature mash of textures, prints and colours, Dutch designer Michael Van der Ham has managed to achieved just this. Like slick 3D collages, his dresses are a charming mix of traditional patchwork and contemporary detailing, dovetailing sexy cocktail dresses with Grandma’s pinny. It’s a concept that could easily look a bit homespun and naff, but he makes it look accomplished, luxurious even. Although Michael has been making ripples in the fashion pool for a couple of seasons now, this collection has officially established him as a destination. Expect to see his dresses on a quirky rising starlet soon.

Lilly Heine The Lilly Heine show. Photograph: PR Despite the subtle, fleshy tones of this collection, it was a very memorable debut from Lilly Heine. Graduating from Central Saint Martin’s MA programme this year, and one of two winners of the Harrods award for best collection, Lily is already tipped for fashion greatness. Her layering of soft, laser-cut fabrics created sculpted panels that look to be carved from limestone. These geometric planes have a stony, clastic texture: they trace and contour the body, creating an almost otherworldly animation when the wearer moves. Perhaps one of the most wonderful things about her collection, though, is the wearability factor (blasphemous as it may be to utter such words in fashion). Yes, there are some show pieces that wouldn’t work for a trip to the supermarket, but there are commercial garments here too. A T-shirt top with signature detailing would be beautiful worn with jeans. The mushroom-coloured minidress would be stunning with some claret patent leather heels on a night out.

Richard Sorger The Richard Sorger show. Photograph: PR Richard Sorger has been kicking around the fringes of the London fashion scene since 2006. He is always on the periphery and has never quite achieved the notoriety that he deserves, despite an A-list celebrity following that includes Kate Beckinsale and Jennifer Lopez. This season he presented his capsule dress collection in conjunction with On/Off, the platform for emerging design talent. Based around the concept of “creatures that swarm”, the dresses are hand-embellished using couture techniques. Clusters of beading and embroidery lend a glamorous tone to infestation. Bees and jellyfish shimmer on a backdrop of florals. While it would be easy for a collection that features bugs to be creepy, this one isn’t. It’s beautiful, unusual and compelling. Each and every time I was at the On/Off venue I found myself drawn to these dresses, like a moth to a flame. Come autumn/winter, this collection will have the customers out in droves.

Why Dark Circles and Puffiness Form in the First Place
Despite what most people think, deep, dark circles and bags under your eyes are not primarily caused by being tired or stressed. Instead, dermatologists and plastic surgeons agree that this is caused by Replica Chanel
capillaries that leak blood close the skin’s surface. When this blood begins to oxidize, it turns a bluish red color, similar to an ugly bruise. And since the skin under the eyes is very thin, this leads to the appearance of the embarrassing bags and dark circles. The more Replica Chanel
transparent your skin and the more blood that pools under it, the darker the circles appear. And what’s worse, this discoloration over time can become permanent!

People used to tell me that I always looked tired as if I have been working sixty hours a week. It is not unusual for me when people start a conversation with me by saying, “Did you get any sleep last night?”Replica Chanel
There are nights when I actually get more than 8 hours of rest so sleep is not the problem for me. I am only in my early 30’s, but the wrinkles and dark circles around my eyes make me looks much older Replica Chanel
than that. I have dark circles and puffiness around my eyes before I even turned twenty years old.

Lazies, Let’s talk interfacing. Our newest Lazy Girl needs soft support in order to keep her beautiful pleats looking their best. I recommend a light weight fusible to show Lily at her best. Since the front cover and front lining each have pleats, they are both supported with interfacing. Supply info later in the post.Replica Chanel

InterfacingReplica Chanel

I absolutely adore Pellon’s Stacy Shape Flex woven cotton fusible interfacing. Love it. It is easy to work with, fuses quickly and offers nearly invisible and lightweight support while still offering substance.

Pellon’s Stacy Shape Flex, item #SF101, comes in a 20″ width (selvage to selvage) instead of the more popular 45″ width of other products. What that means to me is that it is easy to manage in my workspace.

For Lily, interfacing is fused to the fabric before cutting her shapely pieces. Each of the two main pieces is less than 10″ tall. If you cut the Shape flex right down the middle, you’ll get two 10″ strips which are large enough for Lily’s pieces. Nice!

Batting
I tried batting on the front lining and it immediately reminded me of the horseshoe crabs I remember washing up on the beaches of Sanibel Island during childhood vacations. Ewwww. Trust me, the batting was too much support for our delicate Lily. I still have this crab image in my head and, well, you probably do, too. Sorry about that.
