[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2120753, member: 345386"] Thing is they'd also have to have the experience of depression, chronic pain, asthma, hyperlipidaemia, stress, and all the other chronic conditions they are challenged to help manage on a day-to-day basis. For me, a GP is my gateway to specialist help and a guide in minor medicine, although even with the minor issues, I will still do my own research in terms of any diagnosis they make or treatment regime they consider prescribing. I use the term "a GP", rather than "my GP" as there are some things my GP freely admits to have next to no knowledge on, so if they felt unable or disinclined to refer me on to specialist knowledge, I would quickly consult a private GP (they're all around us folks) who is much more likely to oblige, provided I am paying. Our NHS may be free at the point of need, but sadly, these days, our holistic medical care simply may not be that way any more. [/QUOTE]
