mine is horrible, i have had the same health complaint for years and they never take me seriously, they had never run proper tests and don't seem to care. i have now switched doctors and am waiting for a check up.

I've had better luck going to a nearby walk-in clinic than I have going to my family physician.  The people who work there are more apt to take the time and listen to what has been bothering me.  The doctor who works at the clinic insisted I see a heart specialist (who did find a problem), after my doctor kept telling me I was only dealing with anxiety and had put me on meds for it.

I have had this problem with many services.  The pharmacy is a good one.  I take so many meds that sometimes  I accidentally get cutt off of their automated refill system.  I will die because I have diabetes meds and drugs for my mental illness.  You can say I have a wooping pharmacy in my bathroom.  \n\nA couple times I get right down to the last one (number14)Then something  happens and I get disconnected.  Which means that I have to call back and give all those horrid pill bottle numbers to them.  I do this late at night so that I dont freak out on one of my loved one lol.  \n\nAnother automated system that I despise is aol tech support.  Oh man I could go on about them all day.  Whenever they tell you to say something(the automatic teller)is prompted.  Then they do not get anything right you tell them.  \n\nBecause of this they will trasnfer you to their first available tech support person.  Then you will wait forever listining to doctor office music.  Then finally somebody answers and you are like WOW!!!!!!! Finally...\n\nUnfortunately this representive speaks very broken english.  This really sucks.  I try not to loose my patience but my God I cannot understand what they are saying.  Then you can always call back and wait again.  Hoping and praying it is someone that you can understand.  \n\nI could go on but then I would be here for a long time.  Good question and YES it makes me mad.

If you aren't REQUIRED to get one, then don't. If they insist, have them pick the "independent" doctor. If not, get a refferal from yours.\n\nIn the even this does happen, get a third opinion.

Here are the reasons why I go to my dentist:\nHe doesn't overbook. I've never had to wait to get in to my appointments. He's thorough. He explains things to me in a way I understand. His hygienists are almost as knowledgeable as he is, The equipment might not be all the newest gadgets, but everything is thoroughly sterilized. He has a great personality. Not really unique so much as old fashioned, quality service. Oh and he always makes my next appointment after each check up. I have to go back! LOL

I enjoy provincial health care.  We still pay for prescriptions and stuff, but the visit to the doc is free. (well not free in the sense that we pay out the bum for taxes! lol)\n\nI like our warm summers and white Christmases (although I HATE snow)\n\nI like how we are viewed as "the nice guys".  Not entirely true, but in gerenal I suppose it is.\n\nI also love our "mosaic" society and our multi-culturism.\n\nAnd I love Canadian jokes.  They make me laugh =)

I think it's about as good as most of the other ones out there.  It seems to be universally accepted by most providers, which is the big reason I am glad we have it.  \n We pay the same co-pays and deductibles we had with Aetna, but with Aetna we didnt' have a good choice in local providers, so I definitely like BC/BS better.  \n\n We pay $20 for primary care visits and $30 for specialists.  The deductible is $250 for any specialists such as mental health.  It is about the same monthly payment as most insurances are.  We have the family plan.  It comes out of my husband's pay.

Remember the doctor works for you!\n\nYou are not just his patient, you are his customer, you pay his bill, that means you pay his salary, that makes YOU his BOSS!\n\nIf he is not treating you right FIRE him! Find a new doctor!

I am with Utility Warehouse - Gas, Electric, phone and internet.\n\nNo real problems\n\nService has been reliable (512k unlimited usage).  Tech support is expensive, but I was impressed with their knowledge and understanding.  Don't mind paying when they know their stuff.\n\nTheir latest package offering does look good (not available to existing customers until Jan - groan!) even compared to Talk Talk and Sky.  They seem to have devalued the advantages of multiple services which is disappointing, but we have come to an amicable agreement :).

If you want a second opinion you can ask either the doctor who is treating you or you can just go get one from another doctor. I suggest you find another one yourself that way it isnt biased. a good time to get one is whenever you feel as though the diagnosis could be incorrect,you are facing major surgery,you are facing a lengthy and expensive treatment. The primary care doctor can usually referr you to someone. The laws that govern a doctor are usually defined by the hospital,or doctor's office they are working at.

Hello! I'm an NHS dentist.\nOn a typical day  (8.30 to 6) I will treat/ see around 25 patients, sometimes more. Some will just be coming in for check up and a clean (15mins for adults, 5ish for a young child), others for fillings (about 25- 30mins for an appointment, although you can get several done in that time). I will probably see a couple of patients who need dentures made (10-15mins per apppointment) and maybe some more complicated procedures such as root canal (endodntics, 45mins per appointment) or crown/ bridge work (also 45mins for the drilling, maybe 15 to fit the work).\n\nMost patients are lovely, but the few problems we get concern either unrealistic expectations of the patients, or money. I guess we don't ever really see people at their best as most are worried about real or imagined pain/expense, but most of the time as long as the dentist explains, doesn't hurt and the fillings stay in, people are happy!\n\nHope this helps.

I know about them. They are a good idea and they are not...\n\nYes: They can offer free advice for you and make some small appearances on your behalf.\n\nNo: If you get in a jam and you need them you will have to pay money for the services but it will not be as much as normal.\n\nI guess you really need to determine if you really need to pay money for something like this... Will you use this service often??

What one person finds embarrassing another person might not, so those questions that you consider not to be embarrassing   may be very embarrassing for the asker.  So they post a question here rather than visit their GP.\n\nSometimes being friendly with your GP is a stumbling block when it comes to asking personal questions and some people would prefer to speak to a locum doctor whom they have never met before.\n\n\nEDIT I think I have completely the wrong end of the stick here. Thinking about my reply. I think that some of the medical questions asked on here are deliberately gross so as to shock us and not even worthy of a reply. \n\nAnd as for your comments about your favourite questions about pregnancy and women who have just given birth. You have no idea my friend no idea what you are going on about....and it's just sheer ignorance for you to make comment.\n\n\nHi there again if you don't mind me saying, if you expect the right type of answers would it be fair to say that you need to tell us the whole story before you post your question? That way you will get answers that are worth the paper they are typed on.\n\nGood news about the wee one though. Congratulations.\n\nNo 10 points for me then!

As redunicorn says, this is a question for your GP. \nBut I am wondering, even if you did get an answer and someone tells you which drug works for them, how do you think you could use that information? All these drugs are prescription drugs!
