Haha would you also expect that after every blood test?? Stop now man, it is getting quite embarrassing. Perhaps stick to acting

Expecting Drs to write notes is embarrassing?

How's that vague? Also noted that you didn't actually answer the question - now that's vague!

Big UH to what I started

As someone that's dealt with specialists for nearly 6 years due to an illness, I am copied in on all communications between the specialist and GP's.

I had to take a break while trying for a child and going back on proved difficult as the young GP didn't feel comfortable prescribing them without a specialist letter. Which they'd sent.

I was telling her what the dose should be, the side effects and the long drawn out procedure for getting back up to dose due to the potential for liver and kidney failure.

The patient should have been told about the incremental increase via a letter from the specialist and should have known enough to raise this themselves.

You should know what meds and doses you are putting into your body.

He has a brain condition. But I appreciate the point. It's almost a case of patient heal thyself..

and like I said above, it wouldn't hold ground if it went to court.
Even signed Consent Forms by the patient don't necessarily mean the patient knew what they were signing.
I take 12 tablets in a morning, I don't actually know what my doses should be and I could be on the wrong ones but if they do me harm it will be the fault of my GP/Chemist.
THE NHSR could argue I should have known but you can't expect 'patient heal thyself'.
Funnily enough when I take notes from a ward and a patient is still an inpatient, I promise to return them within a couple of hours but the one thing they make a quick copy of is the Prescription Sheets.
