I always ask for a second opinion, i worked support for multiple doctors surgeries and to be honest there are good ones but a lot more bad ones
I supported a surgery where the head doctor spent his Tuesday afternoons surfing porn, the most popular site was Asian Babes considering the rest of the doctors, nurses were young asians it seemed quite appropriate, this was brought to the attention of the powers that be on several occassions but nothing was ever done
another one had more IT books than i did, he spent more time worrying about his PC than he did about his patience
just because they spent 10 years studying the same subject does not mean there any better than the rest of us even if they think they are

Then change your GP! Most are very helpful and will listen.Originally posted by minestrone View PostGPs are the most uncooperative arseholes you could care to meet, 9 to 5 they are on a scenario where they are in charge for 600 seconds, rinse and repeat mentality. The girly has terrible communication skills, where I would pitch up a problem to a team and have a discussion where a differing opinion is valued she is just not used to that thinking.

After Shipman GPs get a 'grilling' once a year.
"So you are a GP?" "Yes"
"Do you want to ever kill old women?" "No"
"Well you are safe to pratice, see you next year"

I haven't seen mine for at least 10 years and haven't told the surgery that I moved 3 years ago yet either.

"Can You Trust Your Doctor?"
Seemed to revolve around a couple of Doctors and as they say 800,000 people see a GP each day.Tags: None
