My SIL has serious heart problems due to having massive amounts of radiotherapy years ago for breast cancer. She has been really unwell but not able to see her GP face to face.I have also been reading about a woman who nearly died from a ruptured appendix because her GP told her over the phone that he thought she had gastroenteritis and should rest and take paracetamol.
Surely we should be getting back to normal now. How can a diagnosis be reached when you can’t examine the patient?

I must have been lucky when I had a short (a few seconds) 'fainting fit' back in January. I was invited to come in and see a GP in person and he asked various questions and took a blood sample, and later got back to me with the results and advice.

Nearly every shop seems to have a plastic screen, twixt you and the staff, these days.You can pay, or pass the parcel through a small hole in the plastic, very easily.
The point being that such a system maintains the contact by allowing for seeing and speaking.
It beggars belief that a Doctor Surgery cannot have, at least, one of it's medics set up behind a screen so that he/she can interpret your conversations & observe your symptoms.
Still no ability for touching you, but much better than what goes on when the phone, and the massive queueing on the phone, are all they are prepared to use.
Oh! & by the way, they'll do the full thing if you go Private - so paying, obviously, prevents transmission of virii!!.

Exactly what I said too Ted.
If you pay enough, it seems you can't transmit the virus!
I think it's a disgrace how we're being treated now.
