Dr Linda Mizun 2y Edited Report this post Thoughts from A&E... 🚨 We need to stop medicalising loneliness! Let's seize the opportunity to discuss the importance of connection and come together to bring a solution that addresses the real problem: our broken societies and the disconnect fueling our GP and Secondary Care admissions. Patients often wait eight to ten hours just to have a conversation with us. When I inquire about their visit, one recently shared, "Well, doctor, I was prescribed antidepressants because I've been feeling very low in mood. I'm not sure if the medications are working."
