Re: Wasting The Time Of A GP
by

well, here's a lovely GP report - mine. She's usually running behind schedule but that's because she will take the time needed - if you've popped in for a checkup after six weeks to check that the swelling really has gone down, then you'll be in and out in two minutes, but if you've got a scary diagnosis from the hospital and need half an hour to make sure you understand what that means, what is done next, and where to find out more, then that is what you damn well get.
The other thing I like about her is that if there's something she isn't sure of she admits she isn't sure, to your face, and will look it up right there. Recently my neurologist wrote to her with a list of possible obscure medications to try me on. The first one didn't work, so we checked the letter for the next, and she actually *said* "I've never heard of this" and looked it up so she could tell me what it did and so on, as opposed to "I AM DOCTOR! I KNOW ALL!".
She also shows me all the letters from the specialists that she gets regarding me so that I know what's going on, which is another thing I appreciate.
The bad news? She's fully booked up and then some. Even if you're on her patient list, it can sometimes take *weeks* to get a non-emergency appointment with her.
