Sticking with GPs. Are we allowed to ask about more than one issue during our slot? (feddit.uk)

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?

If be very surprised if this wasn't just: oh god please don't make me late for the next patient I would really like to get home to see my kids type thing.

If you were limited discussing a single ailment by policy then we add a country have huge problems.

We, as a country, have a big problem.
