Saw him first time as I was prone to cystitis and I had another infection. These are bacterial infections and require antibiotics. Despite this I was sent home with only advice of drinking water (pratronising me like if I was a complete idiot!) and ended up with the infection spreading to one kidney (not the 1st time). Second visit I had first a consultation over the phone. My finger was swelling up over night and was extremely painful. It calmed down but occurred once again few days later. I was under a lot of stress at the time. He diagnosed an infection and gave me antibiotics. As it happens, it was not an infection but the start of arthritis. Clueless! Won't see him again, I'd rather pay for private GP.
