[Info] Make your seven minutes with a GP count

[epileric]

I get frustrated listening to complaints about doctors. Frustrated because I wish we were doing our jobs better and got fewer complaints but also frustrated because so many of the complaints are from patients who haven’t been given a clear understanding of how GPs work. In our time-poor working lives, I want to advise professionals on how to get the most from that rare and valuable commodity: a GP appointment.

The first thing to know is that if you can “hire” your GP you can also “fire” them too. If you haven’t got on in the past then ask to see someone else. Medicine is somewhat of a competitive market and doctors need patients.
