Advantages: Friendly

Disadvantages: Time wasters

In the past, if you were ill and wanted to see your doctor, then all you needed to was go to your local GP, and wait a little while. However, nowadays, it is much harder. Because doctors these days are taking on so many patients, the waiting list seems to constantly growing, and by the time you are able to get an appointed, what ever was wrong with you has passed.

When my wife was extremely ill, I ring our local surgury to ask if I could make an emergency appointment, and even when I explained what was wrong with her, they told me that I needed to wait for two days before she could she the doctor. In end, I just told her to the hospital when she eventually had to have her appendix taken out. We were told if we had waited the two days to see the doctor, she may not have been so lucky. So, as you can imagine, I am not a great fan of GPs, however they can be useful when you do evetually get to see them.

Another thing that angers me is the services that they offer. Nowadays, GPs will take appointments from people who are just simply suffering from a common cold and are being dramatic, wasting their time. People who lie to get a sick note also annoy me, and there are a lot of these people who I know. A friend of mine went to his GP to get a sick note from his doctor because he had cut his finger, and can you believe it, he got one.

So far, my review does seem to be largely negative, so dont get me wrong, GPs do serve their purpose. They are excellent at what they do and when you are able to see them, they are both friendly and caring, respecting your privacy, and always being honest with you, after all thats what you really want from a doctor.
