If they can then surely someone can
tell you where you can go to get medical treatment?
Yes, I am required to go to my GP. Except that I'm not capable of
doing so, and I'm banned from the premises (no reason given) and
I'm banned from contacting my GP (no reason given).
Can you change your GP or is the one you can't see the only one in
your area?
No way of doing that. The single surgery in my area `sacked' me
(again, no reason given, no idea what brought it on; I think I was
maybe costing them too much. My GP was on holiday when it happened,
which means their actions were against regs and possibly illegal). If
you approach a GP out of area, they just say that they're not
permitted to take on patients out of area - which is a lie, and if you
put in a formal written complaint about what they said, they lie again
and say that they didn't say that but come up with another excuse as
to why they won't consider taking on any patients from out of area.
Have you thought about taking legal action over what happened?
As I've already explained, I cannot get a solicitor to get involved.

it's
not right that you're left with no medical bods! :o(
Correct, but so what?
So there must be *someone* on your side?
My wife. No-one else. She has a full time job and has proven unable to
get me access to any of the help I need.
There is no hope. Hope is a killer. My only hope is to
abandon all hope - if that makes sense. I can live if I
accept that every day is meaningless, empty, misery with no
point and no reason with nothing to do and no purpose in
life. I can live like that. That's all I have.
How about doing something to give you something to look forward
to
each day?
Eh? I've no idea what you could be thinking of. *DO*
something? How? Have you no idea just how incapable I am?
You're not incapable, you're ill! :o)
Eh? I'm incapable /because/ I'm ill.
Have you thought about getting alternative treatments like
hypnotherapy and things like that?
Nothing could convince me to pay any private mental health treatment.
As far as I can figure out, the field is mostly a scam for ripping off
vulnerable people. I base my comments on having met some private
mental health therapists (yes, plural) and seen 'em in action. Just
as bad as the old-fashioned Freudian psychotherapists - although
modern techniques are different. Freudian psychotherapy is utterly
discredited, but it's been replaced by the equally bad (for pretty
much the same reasons) psychodynamic therapy.
Not private mental health stuff but things like hypnotherapy and NLP and
things like that?
What are you on about?
I have no access to NHS services. I will not pay for a private mental
health therapist because I trust none of them.
[snip]
As I've tried to explain, I cannot do so for all sorts of reasons.
Nor do I think I'll find any useful books. There seems to have
been no decent technical documentation published in the last two
decades. Books on computer stuff - /modern/ such books - are almost
impenetrable to me. I'm quite happy with old-fashioned formal
technical manuals, but I can't get anywhere with the modern stuff.
All of it's written and structured far too badly for me to make
coherent sense out of it. `Applescript for Dummies' is the single
most annoying technical book I've ever wasted my money on, for
example. Utterly useless for learning anything as far as I'm
concerned.
I've got no idea what any of these are like, but how about this page
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mac-OS-Missing-Manual-
Tiger/sim/0596009410/2/ref=pd_sexpl_s_b/203-6082089-6923107?ie=UTF8
&pf=book - is there anything on there that might help?
The `Missing Manual' series is a prime example of `totally crap modern
computer documentation'. It does in any case not contain much that's
of use. I have an earlier edition of the book you cite.
Ah right! How about these then or are they the same
http://amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_nr_seeall_6/203-6082089-6923107?ie=UTF8
&rs=&keywords=Mac%20%2B%20advanced&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AMac%20%2B%20advanced%
2Ci%3Astripbooks
Please stop it. You've no idea what manuals I might find useful if I
were capable of doing anything with them, but I'm not.
I don't want to buy more computer books. I have no use for them.
No, if I were going to produce a Web site, I'd look at on-line
sources and try to learn a bit more HTML, then I'd get on and write
it. <shrug>
You could try Bravenet... they've got all sorts of add-on things and
you can build your own site as you go as well as learning html?
The problem has nothing whatever to do with the technicalities of
producing a Web page, but the problems of producing worthwhile
content.
You know lots of stuff that could be a great source of information to
those less knowledgeable than you!
Indeed I do. But it's slowly falling out of my head and there's nothing
I can do about that at all. As I've explained many times, I am
incapable of producing a Web page that's worth putting on the Web.
What part of that do you not understand?
It seems to me that you're not really reading what I write, given that
you keep banging on about the same things which I've told you are out of
the question.
But I am not capable of producing a worthwhile Website at the
moment. Nor is there anything I'd be interested in putting up on a
Website aside from some information about motorcycle maintenance -
the bits I've picked up that don't seem to be in the books. But
don't suggest that I do it because I've already tried and failed in
utter, hopeless, suicidal despair.
Okey dokes! :o)
Every time I've attempted something like that and failed, it's
driven me deeper down into the pit of despair. So for the sake of
maintaining what's left of my mental health, I've stopped making
such attempts - and that is because they have proven harmful to me,
okay? So please stop suggesting that I do something like that.
I've tried, and it's done me nothing but harm.
I'm sorry that things like that have done nothing but harm you :o(
<shrug> That's life.
It shouldn't have to be though :o(
<shrug> The Nazis shouldn't have slaughtered millions of people simply
for being Jewish or gypsies or whatever, but they did. Worse things
happen in the world. Pol Pot was doing his mass-murder spree when I was
a youngester.
Talking about `it' with people who understand - well, that's
not possible. No-one understands my position, so it seems.
Certainly I just get attacked by a bunch of slavering hounds
in this newsgroup f I should open my mouth, don't I?
Rowland.
I'll listen if you mail me off the group! :o)
I thought you wanted no more email from me.
Huh? When did I say that?
Inference based on lack of reply.
I have replied!
If so, your reply didn't arrive.
I'm really starting to not like Windows Mail!
It's written by Microsoft. What else can one expect except poor
performance? However, do you have any record of when the email was
sent? It's not impossible that it might have got lost in transit.
Send both emails to me again and I'll reply as soon as I
get them :o) For some reason Windoze Mail deletes anything you
reply to
:o(
Why do people buy MS software at all, I wonder? There's got to be
*some* way to turn that idiotic behaviour off - are you sure that it
deletes the emails rather than moving them to a different
folder/directory/whatever?
If it does, I don't know which folder it gets moved to! :o(
[snip]
You could try doing a search, and also asking on a different newsgroup
to see if someone can tell you how to stop it being stupid like that.
Rowland.
