Went in on Friday. I asked if I could discuss another issue and was (politely) told that because it’s a ten minute appointment that I’d have to come back again to discuss that issue.
Which seemed…well both shit and a recipe for absolute disaster given how difficult it is for most people to see their GP even once.
So, was she right or should I be more brazen next time?
You can request a longer slot if you have multiple things to discuss.
Honestly, it was most likely they were really being pushed for time with every appt, and were concerned about pushing everyone else in the queue late.
You can request it but quite a lot of them will say no.
Huh, in Australia I feel very comfortable asking my GP about multiple things in a ten minute slot, usually multiple prescription renewals
