Also, I've never felt that a stopwatch was ticking.<br /><br />When my wife recently had what seemed like a serious illness, she received a phone call every other evening, two hours after the surgery had theoretically closed. I can't praise them highly enough.<br /><br />I'd love to know whether this surgery is a reflection of the local practioners or the result of government policy. If it's the former, then they should be held up as an example of how healthcare should be provided.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-15977708532607765322012-11-30T01:49:25.329+01:002012-11-30T01:49:25.329+01:00In the US I find that they minimize time with one:...In the US I find that they minimize time with one: it is routine to spend an hour or hour and a half at the doctor's office, five minutes of that being with the doctor. But though they leave the impression that there's another patient waiting, they don't make one feel unwelcome.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.com
