I’m quite new on here so apologies if this has been done before, I did look back and could not see anything similar for some time.
What’s your doctor like? After reading some of the posts there seem to be a lot of negatives about doctors. Now I go to a local village practice and I would have to say they are brilliant. I always try and understand the time constraints they are under and their busy workloads and appreciate that they will always squeeze you in if it’s an emergency (Mine do anyway). My surgery has always been receptive to my anxiety as well. One of our doctors I often see on a social basis and although it’s not ‘done’ to discuss illness etc we sometimes discuss general medical issues and practices and she told me recently that 50% plus of their diagnosis is done in the first twenty seconds when you walk in the door say good morning and sit down and from your medical record. I know as HA sufferers we never really believe our docs unless they offer a myriad of tests but let’s be honest they are generally right in the way they conduct themselves.....or are they?
So are you folk happy with your doctor?
