The last few times I've been to my GP (different locums both times) I've really felt like I'm just this unit that has to be processed and got back out the door as quickly as possible. It's not like I'm there all the time either, only been twice this year (so far!).
I realise they have targets to meet, but it wouldn't kill them to be a bit more friendly and take a couple of extra minutes to explain things. And to smile a bit more.
Anyway, I've just found out that you can pay to go for a private appointment with a non-NHS doctor where you get a guaranteed twenty minute appointment. Has anyone had one, and did you think it was worth it?
