Waiting to be seen by the doctor, I saw a notice on the wall to the effect the doctor would only deal with one health problem per appointment.
I appreciate a doctor will have many people to see, but it seems the days that you can discuss your overall health with your GP are over.
I was also told by the receptionist the doctor tries to average three or four minutes per patient. This hardly seems enough time to deal with peoples' problems properly.
