Sorry the doctor wasn’t up to scratch. Are there any other practices you could transfer to or is that the one and only. I’m mad on your behalf 🤬🤬🤬January spends - £587.583

Totally agree with what everyone has said about that doctor. My initial thought was to wonder if he was indeed a doctor & not one of those assistants they seem to be trying.3

So glad you checked Beanie, but also worrying that you felt the need to, if you see what I mean. At least you know who not to see if you need to see a doc again.4

Absolutely so. Interestingly enough a friend also saw them later that day & also had a very poor experience.badmemory said:So glad you checked Beanie, but also worrying that you felt the need to, if you see what I mean.

Is the locum permanent @beanielou? Appreciate it may be difficult in your location but could you transfer? Love Humdinger xx2

Agree with researching other practices in area but also might be worth seeing if this locum is just "filling in" for the GP that left, baby, bathwater and all thatMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!3 -
