i think people are remembering what a doctor used to do 10 years ago. Most doctors now are pretty clueless unless it is a standard illness. If they identify anything not simple then you get referred to a consultant

So, the upshot is that a qualified pharmacist is useful for the majority of minor ailments and it takes the pressure off the doctors surgery.

I had a terrible experience at my doctors surgery, even after being admitted to ICU, and I had to eventually request an alternative doctor after which, i got the care and medicine that i needed, but it wasn't easy, even after having a medical emergency
