Tips for a Better GP appointmnt

Appalled at what I have seen in the message.

Health issues cannot be broken down as suggested by the article. Especially not when the person you see at the surgery is never the same. The human body is a whole and not a series of bits. The time allocated in more civilized countries than the UK for a meeting wit a GP is at least 20 minutes (and the GP knows you). How can you judge of the health of somebody you have never met in 10 minutes. It's by listening to their customers' little and major ailments and know about their lives that a practitioner can assess their needs. Next step to save money seems to be internet consultations. Good luck but not for me.

The list of groups I had to attach my message to reinforces me in this belief.
