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 :)

I have a good GP . We were lucky found him just starting as a GP. I have multiple illnesses, he does ask we are we up to, I don’t mind hat as my body decides to up the problems at times, He did ask my husband once if I was happy with him as he cannot offer me anything definite. My husband told me he had reassured him.He told the GP that if I was not happy I either would not be there ir I would have told him. He helps me cope with my problems which at times get me very low.. I have notice that all the doctors in the practice I belong to are all Drs who are recognised as educated to treat elderly patients . All seem to be the registered doctor at all the various Retirement homes & villages.That is written in the information given you to read. Actually names the ones they visit.
Talk to people you know, you meet at the library or activities you are involved in.
