I've seen Dr Childs on and off for many years when no one else is available. Over that time I've come to regard her as tolerable when it's something minor or I just want a referral to a private consultant or I just need a repeat prescription for a long term condition I have. She barely listens so I wouldn't consult her about something more major and I certainly wouldn't let her interfere with my long term medication as it's impossible to trust her when she takes no notice of you. I've come to the conclusion over the years that she's not the brightest button in the box and therefore she feels that she has to control the consultation in case you push her out of her depth and ask things she can't answer. In a way she's in the wrong place, the local population are in the main articulate and intelligent people who don't want a patronising 'I know best' attitude. Then again, perhaps it's better she is in a place where people can challenge her or goodness only knows what would happen.
