Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience of trying to find a good doctor?
My doctor has retired after seeing him for 25 years, I'm struggling to find anyone who is, well a good doctor. Seems to me that they don't have time to listen to what you're telling them, they are on their feet, when I'm still sitting down. The personal service that I've had for 25 years just doesn't exist with the doctors I've been too. They won't do blood tests like my other doctor did every 3 months, if you're going back to see them in a week they don't know why you're there. Just want to give you a script and leave?
Then you have to go back because they've not investigated your symptoms proberly. I mean what sort of doctor if you're there with a cold does not look in your ears or down your throat?
It's going to be a nitemare which I've already discovered, curious if anyone else has the same problem.
Thanks for reading :)

Yeh, I went to my old GP for years. He must have been a surgeon in a former life 'cos if he couldn't stitch it up or cut it out it was always "Take this..... You'll be right or call me in a week or so."
We got along well and I trusted his judgement.
My new bloke has a different approach, "i think you better see a specialist for this that or the other test"
Maybe things in the medical profession have changed, or maybe I'm just getting old and wearing out.
Either way, I prefer my old doctor .
