It's been quite enlightening to read about how others have navigated similar situations - and in a way I'm glad I'm not the only one!I'm now fully recovered from the shingles but the experience gave me much to ponder about - particularly the the efficacy of virtual GP appointments. It seems the quality of care can significantly vary. [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] [USER=506169]@ianf0ster[/USER] your points about the doctor's demeanour and qualifications is something I haven't often questioned, but definitely more aware of it now. [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER], you make a good point about the importance of body language in consultations - you just can't get that virtually! I really don't think primary care can be delivered via digital means only.[USER=527103]@In Response[/USER] [USER=432241]@Circuspony[/USER] your experiences highlighted misdiagnoses aren't just digital - the whole thing really does show you the importance of thorough questioning and examination regardless of the setting. And in some cases, getting a second opinion!!</blockquote>
