Almost impossible to get an appointment. When you do get an appointment then it lasts just 5 minutes and you are not allowed to mention more than one symptom per appointment! How ignorant is that? Every sane doctor knows that to diagnose a condition you need to look at the pattern of presentations not just one single symptom. Crazy and incompetent in my view. The system needs to change as it can cause uneccessary suffering and deaths through this poor diagnostic process.

Suggested improvements
Let the patient tell you what they are concerned about to get a true picture of the problem and a scientific diagnosis not just a quick guess and on to the next one. If necessary this might take up to 15 minutes instead of 5. But there will be others who are in and out in 2 minutes.
