I lied to A doctor during a medical for renewing my PCV licence last year. redface:
I was found out and had imense difficulty trying to scramble my way out of the hole I'd dug, and I'm still not out of it either. redface:
PCV licence renewal is still sitting on my desk gathering dust, and I don't know if I will ever send it off now tbh.
-
Nope! I always tell my doctors the truth but only to the questions they ask. I never volunteer any further information.
My thought is that is I don't answer them truthfully there is little or no chance that they will be able to help me .... That said they do little for me anyway evil:

"Yes M'Lud, and as you can clearly see, Mr Growler has publicly admitted the offence on an Internet Forum."

I resent the compulsory booze interrogation which now seems to be standard here evil:
When I was in A&E with a broken shoulder in November I was asked some damn fool questions about booze habits. I said, "Can we skip this, I am in agony here?"
It was explained that the compooter insisted on these questions and that they could do nothing more for me until I had answered them noooo: noooo: noooo:

I am with Snoops on this one they are not the alcohol/drugs police ....and may affect what medication they could give you ..........
An ex of mine had cancer and had tried pot/grass to help ......she did not want to tell the doctor ...............I did .......he did not even bat an eyelid...

There was an old chap in the village who was a legendary boozer. He was also an accountant. He told me once that his doctor wanted to know how much he drank and that he had decided to be truthful eeek:
Tally was:
10,00 a.m.: glass of sherry with the morning mail
1.00: Pub. Three pints followed by lunch at his club with bottle of claret
4.00: Drive home and go to pub. 5 pints
7.00: Dinner. Bottle of collapso
Followed by port and brandy
Doc said, "Mr X, I couldn't drink that much water in a day!"
His reply? "Well neither could I"
smile:

Yes, I admit wholly that I lied in the eyes of the quackter as the question that was put to me was IN MY OPINION answered sort of correctly, being the fact that I consider to be the judge of my personal well being and feelings of fitness, NOt some grossly overpaid quizmaster.
That unfortunately didn't meet the exact criteria that was actually required, as it seems personal opinions of ones own actual state of health are actually totally irrelevant. Banghead
I had to come 'clean' in the end, and admit my slight deviation from what was actually required from me, so even IF I send the form for renewal off, the DVLA will know the so called 'facts' that the quackter was thus requiring to complete my application/medical examination form are there for further investgation if so required, probably incurring me with highly expensive annual examinations and restrictions being placed upon me.
In one sentence though, if you can't be arsed reading all that bullshit, I'm goosed. evil:

Like Snoops I always answer my doctor's question honestly but I never volunteer information.
Lying about the amount you drink I consider implies that you somehow you feel that you're doing something wrong and feel guilty about it.
-
I disagree Uncle. The health Nazis have got the 21 units mantra in their heads. It was a made up figure, but if you admit to exceeding it, as many of us do, you are a marked
Foggy man

My lickle lie wasn't even drink related. ::)
Anyway, I was found out and learned me lesson. Banghead
The quack was actually quite sympathetic, and did actually understand my point of view, but he insisted that he had to act proffesionally to safeguard his own reputation, so i apologised. angel1

I know, I know, for I have sinned! sad32:
Trouble with my bastard poxy vile ailment, is that there are massive variations and degrees of incapacity that it can cause, and I consider myself to be one of the VERY lucky ones that has managed to keep it well batoned down so far, hence my flippant attitude towards it.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm piggin' buzzin man, so right up yer jacksie **. Finger:

But, but I've had a LOT less than last week so I must be... sort of... in credit sort of thing or something....? rubschin:
-
Credit is a thing of the past . Like the Dodo whistle:
-
Can you do a sin-eater sort of thing? Adopt an abstainer and you get their alcy credits
I'd say thump them on the head and nick their liver but it's a bit messy, alibis are not what they were and then there's that tissue matching malarkey
-
I'm a good boy. angel1
I could virtually drink the contents of a distillery and still be in credit. cloud9:

I have three cats and two dogs - none of them touch the stuff! Thumbs:
So, that puts me... um..... well, I'd better start on the hard stuff now if Miss D says there is no credit - I don't want to waste all those units! Party001:
