A lot of GP's are clever clogs (they like to flex their know how for the sake of it!) and dispute information they don't agree with- also where you have medical centers with several GP's that you may see, they often contradict each other. For example one longterm GP at a place I use cut the strength of pain killers I was given. A week later I went in and a locum gave me the strongest type of pill of that type (without question) and had a bad attitude to boot!
