Every time I go to the doctors I feel a bit fobbed off and I have read loads of stories where GP's misdiagnose things which turn out to be more serious and which if found earlier would be easier treat.

Literally. You only get an appt at mine if you phone at 8am but you see the locum (the good doctors come in like once a month by which time they're already fully booked). I managed to phone in two weeks ago and have an appt with a good gp tomorrow and even though I know he probably won't give the answer I'm looking for I don't want to waste the opportunity.

the last time i went was 2002
I had a really nice young lady last time I went but my doctor the time before that was horrendous. She literally laughed in my face for something that took me a lot of courage to go and see her about.

My GP's ite.
But in general no after they lied to us and basically euthanized my Grandad over a week in front of our eyes without our permission while claiming he was sedated for a bad water infection. Hard to trust after that.

No. I would be utterly stupid to trust them given my experiences. They have given me a disability for life, ffs.
My doctors already has the nhs version of google open and the prescription printed out before you sit down [emoji23][emoji23]
Our surgery has went right downhill since all the older doctors left and now its different locums each day.
