How to be the perfect patient
Tuesday, 28 October 2008
Who'd be a GP? Unfortunately, we family doctors have a bad reputation at the
moment. The Government doesn't like us because we got a massive pay rise and
now they're painting us as lazy fat cats whom patients can never get to see.
Meanwhile, we are as busy as ever.

My mum won’t move on after dad’s death
Saturday, 25 October 2008
Dear Virginia,
How can I help my mother? My father died four years ago, and she refuses to
look for anyone new, saying no one can replace him. She’s only in her
fifties, but won’t consider training for a career. She has sold her flat and
now rents, has no pension, and I am desperately concerned about her future.
She seems happy enough, but does nothing all day. I’m 34, single and work as
a tour guide, and every time I leave the country I’m sick with worry.
Yours sincerely, Elsa

Jan de Vries: Bowel inflammation
Tuesday, 16 September 2008
I was hoping you could help me with a problem that I have with bowel
inflammation. About two years ago I had some tests done and was told that it
was inflammation. I was given some dietary advice and medicines to take
which has helped, but I am still having a few problems with diarrhoea. Could
you give me any more information that may help me further?

Virginia Ironside: You have the power to help a loved one heal
Saturday, 13 September 2008
Dear Virginia
My wife suffers from a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder and our house
is filled with old newspapers, bags of shopping, old food cartons, boxes and
rubbish. I and my two teenage sons have had to move next door as there’s no
room to eat or sleep. The children are happy and balanced – there’s no lack
of love. A doctor has said that without help, which she refuses, she’ll
never get better. What can I do?
Yours sincerely, Rodney

Some months ago I developed an allergy affecting my fingers. It is itchy
and red in between my fingers and affects my left hand more than my right. I
also have a patch on the palm of my hand. I got some Betnovate but it didn’t
really cure it and I don’t want to use cortisone cream if I can help it. I
wonder if there are any suggestions you could make?
