Listen the whole ‘come to me for your skin because I’m a GP so I can prescribe you stuff’ is a red flag in itself... it gives the perception that you’ll need prescription stuff for your skin. I have never, ever, EVER heard this self acclaimed ‘skin obsesssed GP’ to mention water, fruit, veg, stress as things to consider also. Why ? Because she loves her take away, meals out and vino. So it’s not part of her routine to manage the skin from within, so why should it be yours? No, pay her instead, of course she’s going to prescribe you something that only she can sell & fulfill the order.. it’s all a big con. Telling strangers on insta. ‘Booking are live if you want to book a skin consult’ - already sends out a notion that to sort out your Skin you need something prescribed. She’s a danger to the medical profession

So true. There is a lot to be said for highly trained, experienced aestheticians. I myself go to a facialist who initially trained and worked as a biochemist- so she genuinely knows about ingredients and skin from a scientific approach. She sells product, obviously, but she's very honest and doesn't ever pressure you to buy and debunks a lot of the "trends" in skin as well. Someone like that can really turn you in the right direction if you're having mild to medium skin issues.

If you have really severe issues with your skin, like acne or very active rosacea or something, you need to go to a Dermatologist. Why in the world anyone would go to a GP about their skin (other than to get them to take an initial look and do a referral) is beyond me. She's qualified as a GP, not a Dermatologist, a year.......it's not possible to be a skincare expert in that time!! She's only in it for the business and money side. Agree on the worry of the over prescription of retinol as well. It's not something that should be casually bandied around and prescribed at high strength.
 
Wow what have I missed. Did she actually admit to giving the kids dozol to make them sleep? It’s only used from aged 6 and up in the UK.

That's why it was made for over 2 as people were using it to make them sleep. As above I used it when my son had a really bad earache the gp recommended it. But I usually us calpol and if there really bad nurofen. Saying that it didn't really knock him out but he was much more comfortable

So, seriously. Does it work for 2yr olds to sleep? (Asking for a friend 😉)

I've used it when my 10 year old is on steroids he has a few health issues but on the recommendation of a GP. It tastes rank though not a nice flavour.

But it has been known to be abused by people to make kids sleep. Personally I think it should be on prescription.

But Calpol and nurofen should be enough for teething. If you have a pain in your mouth it's going to disturb you. My 21 month old is cutting his back teeth at the minute and 10 days straight hes but up unsettled but that's being a parent.

My 10 year old is ALLERGIC to sleep he never slept a night for the first 5 years of his life even now its hit and miss.

She made it clear she gives Teedex to Romy who is only just one. I know she probably gives the appropriate dose but this is so irresponsible - so many will think if it’s fine for a GP on Instagram to give it, it’s fine for me too.

The attitude is “I’m a GP so it’s fine” in my opinion. When it’s bad as an “influencer”. What lane is she trying to be in?

She didn’t admit to giving it to Romy though did she? Yet she’s the one teething 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think she implied it - “all my kids hate the caramel flavour”, and she’s tired cos Romy is teething

The get free stuff lane!

If she talks about this kind of thing she should be very clear about following the guidelines on the bottle unless under the guidance of a medical practitioner but she doesn’t really at all - more of a “it’ll be grand” attitude which is shocking for a GP
 
Sorry, is this right? She said if you haven’t had sex you don’t need a smear test? ? This is actually what she has said
