Sorry I disagree there. The surgery is not named and is unidentifiable....and no, I'm not binning the thread at the moment. I've deleted anything remotely worrying.

What IS your problem?
Do you have some kind of personal investment in making sure practice receptionists suffer no criticism?

I keep meaning to sign up with a GP, but never get around to it. I think I'm still registered at uni (where I signed up in 1996.)

Just realised that means I haven't been to the GPs in over ten years!

Perhaps you did not read the problematic comments
made by the Username - Intostella.
Those comments have quite rightly been deleted.
I have no problem with Users criticising practice receptionists and Mrs Magpie has started a thread for that very purpose in another forum.

She was right though. That receptionist has been foul to me as well. It was the possible legal stuff. I've seen IntoStella very ill and being rebuffed by that complete cow of a jobsworth. It isn't the job of a receptionist to diagnose your condition nor to decide whether you are deserving enough for an appointment.

Surely it's the opposite if he's never needed a doctor in all that time - I've probably visited the doctor 4 or 5 times since I was a kid and I'm 32. The only time I'm ever ill is when I have a cold or flu and a doctor can't help you with those.Mrs Magpie said:You are a classic example of a bloke not looking after his health

I disagree...for all he knows he may have high blood pressure or summat.

I don't think I've been to the doctor in 5 years or so either.
In any case, I think the only time a surgery's ever checked my blood pressure is in the induction to join a new practice. The other times you're quickly in, generally thrown a prescriptions for some pills, and out within 10 minutes.
And I quite like the surgery too, but I think folks going to a gym induction tend to get as much of a general health check as they're likely to get at the doctor's.

I guess. Lots of people would only bother a overworked doctor if they had something wrong with them - to be honest, I've never really thought about it. I've been tootling along thinking that you had to be ill to make an appointment, but I suppose that's not true. Are you allowed to book a 'check up' every now and again? What does that involve?
Mrs Magpie

Yes, it's encouraged.

Like a boss.
I haven't been to the Doctors since a check up when I had ME, when he asked my how my liver was and if I'd not drunk a drop like he'd previously told me.. er, except he never said a thing about my liver and I was in my first year at uni so drank like a fish. turns out my liver fucntion was down to 50%.. ok, common sense on my part wouldn't have hurt, but how could you neglect to tell someone that?!?!?! ME or no ME I never went back.
Gf is stressing about my shakes though, so maybe I should go.

You should go because you need to but if your GF is worried too then there are two of you worried sick. Please go Chris it could be a trapped nerve and something easily.
