Plz help

[Irish*Lad]

Got a long list of questions from reflexology tutor and i'm stuck on 2. I have searched through many books[sm=banghead.gif] and i'm now brain dead cos i can't seem to find the answers so, decided to come and get advice from you guys. Questions are:-

Why is it important not to advise a client to reduce any medication prescribed by their GP? (I thought -would this be they may compromise their health?)

When might you advise a client to have a check-up from their GP? (I thought - would this be after their consultation; disclosing information i.e blood in stools/undiagnosed pain)

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance [sm=1kis.gif]

Hiya Sandia, OK, I will try and shed a bit of light if I can:

1. A complementary therapist doesn't have medical training and must not give any advice or instructions on medical matters such as prescribed medication. Only their GP can do that.

2. Yes, worrying symptoms should be checked. I also advise that they book an appointment if they are due a smear or mammo, or I inform men over 50 about prostate screening.

Good luck!
