I had one GP tell me that Co-codamol should not be taken with a condition I have. Then another GP, a locum - contradicted that GP and issued me with Co-codamol on a prescription and when I told him what she had said, he shrugged it off. Another drug I was prescribed by the other GP - the locum told me that was bad for the heart! So 2 contradictions by 2 GP's in the same practice.
Another GP at the same place when I asked about a condition I was told to look on the Internet! When research was done recently that concluded that looking on the Internet for self-diagnosis is a dangerous. On another occasion he refused to examine my throat and said "come back in 6 weeks if you are still in pain!"
