Still no idea what's happening with your knob and why you want to hire a hitman for something to do with it, but I'm glad you're here with us Matty x

a got thread goes AWOL

Does this mean that my GP rings my family and tells them things about me? I didn’t even know this was a thing tbf. Thanks for bringing this enlightening material to my life Matty

ok ok so if my GP has family members down to discuss my health etc ( she has two )

can i remove them ?

and if she try’s to contact them she’s breaking confidentially?

From what I can make of this, your GP is discussing you/your medical records with others?

Are you sure theyre not phoning their counsellor and a translator to try understand the complete gibberish you spout?

As long as you do not legally depend on them for care, or have signed a Power of Attorney - yes

If there is a PoA involved you can still probably revoke it

They tell many others too, some of the stories your GP tells us are insane (but expected).

@matty1878
Am I right in thinking that you gave your GP permission to discuss your health with one or more family members and you now want to withdraw that permission?
If so then you just need to inform him of your change of mind.

Try to speak again with the GP rather than the receptionist mate.
