asking for a friend

Postby master6 » Mon Oct 11, 2021 1:12 pm

It is a medical related matter, as the shock is rattling him.
Friend has discovered that he has a daughter aged in her early 50's. Until recently He knew nothing of her existence. This has put him in a spin. His GP has been unable to help. What should he do now please?

I'm feeling this is a little beyond the scope of this forum.

Agree it’s beyond our ken

But the GP? Likely to be less useful than the nearest vicar/priest/faith-healer.

In lieu of the local bar staff, finding someone genuinely disinterested (and preferably experienced) to talk this through with would be a start.
If he’s not a talker, some Alain de Botton is recommended as a start.
If in doubt, pick up one of the phone lines mentioned on TV.

The GP may refer him to a psychologist if he is still struggling.
Mine sure would, she is a ripper.
Very happy with her.
