We can't do that here in the UK within the NHS. As a student I don't have private health insurance (as I can get seen through the NHS), so can't choose who I go to. I've made an appointement with a GP for Friday - if they seem nice I'll discuss options with them, otherwise I'll just show them my eczema to get some cream for it! (and possibly go again to a different GP in the new year)

> there are more people out there is mental health issues than you think....course there's always the one bugar out there...I know this objectively, but it's still there at the back of my mind. Also all my collegues will be able to access my medical history if they were minded to, which puts me off a bit. My housemate has already read my file when she was on placement where I saw my psychiatrist. I'm a private person, only a couple of close friends know what is going on with me and I want it to stay that way if possible.
Thanks for listening b2c, I know you have a lot of your own stuff on your plate at the moment x
