Just watching this and it is clear that these patients are being seen within a day or two. I am also impressed by the fact that if a blood test or ecg are needed the patient just goes back to the waiting room and it is done on the spot by one of the nurses. I have just seen an on the spot atrial fibrillation diagnosis ... It took months for me! ... going back and forth.
Ours is a rural practice and going back and forth is a very long process!
They are looking for people to join their patient feedback group ..
. I think I might volunteer!

I love this programme. Is it a new series?
The doctors are always so helpful and supportive.
I was at the gp the other day who has never seen me before and she was very helpful but I didn’t feel ‘seen’ as a person.

If this is a tv programme then the doctors know they’re being filmed and will act accordingly.

I made the same comment last night Luckygirl. I don’t often watch this but am always amazed by the excellent care the patients get.
The young man got his ‘odd’ spot biopsied almost immediately.
I didn’t although mine was presenting in a very classic way. My Dr. said he couldn’t see it! Therefore I was I imagining it.
