Re: Doctors - do you trust them?
let's get on an even keel shall we and we can only speak as we find. I have an excellent doctor, he has a jovial manner and I always manage to come out with a laugh - he sits infront of his pc and has my full medical history before him - can read it accurately and very quickly - I don't go to see him for counselling [he has a counselling service attached to the practice for that] - he deal with my immediate medical concerns - he only needs 10mins as I do to update me and he also runs a busy practice and has lots of others to see who are anxious to see him. A counselling session usually takes between 30-60 mins because of the nature and need of that interaction - doctors do medical not counsellingRe: Doctors - do you trust them?
Re: Doctors - do you trust them?
At the surgery that I go to it's the same - 10 minutes only and that's supposed to apply to just one ailment but I think that all depends on the workload and the amount of patients either in the surgery or due-in for an appointment, although how they actually get appointments is a mystery to me at times!Re: Doctors - do you trust them?
This concept of alotting only a specific and limited amount of time per patient is foreign to me. Here, the doc's office manager schedules appointments for the day.. You go at your specified time and usually you end up waiting an hour to see him. BUT once you get into his office, you take as much time as you need, and you get to discuss anything and everything that is of medical concern to you. There is no specified amount of time. The doc stays until his waiting room is empty and no more patients are scheduled. So seeing a doc and getting the Bums Rush is not something I have dealt with. Sure.. it's a pain to sit and wait, but knowing that when I get to see him I will have the time I need to satisfy my health concerns is worth the wait.Re: Doctors - do you trust them?
