I am writing to provide feedback on my recent consultation with Dr. on 01.05.24 at 13:45 I visited the surgery due to a severe cough that has persisted for the past 3-4 months. I informed Dr that I had already tried various remedies with no improvement. During the consultation, Dr examined my chest and advised it sounded clear. While I appreciate this initial assessment, I was disappointed that no further investigation was offered within the appointment. Given the duration of the cough and the ineffectiveness of previous treatments, I felt a more comprehensive approach might have been beneficial. Specifically, I would have liked to discuss: • Possible causes for the persistent cough beyond a chest examination. • Alternative diagnostic options besides an X-ray, or if an X-ray was deemed necessary, referral for one within the appointment rather than a walk-in service. I understand that doctors have limited time per appointment, but I believe a more in-depth discussion could have helped identify the cause of my cough and determine the appropriate course of action
