Description
The Appointment: What Your Doctor Really Thinks During Your Ten-Minute Consultation A typical GP's ten-minute appointment is often seen as a mystery, with patients feeling swamped and confused by the vast amount of health information available online. In reality, GPs are trying to make sense of complex health problems within the constraints of their healthcare system. This book offers an intimate and honest account of how a GP manages patient health issues during these precious ten minutes. Experienced GP Dr Graham Easton shines a light on what's really going on in those central moments, laying bare the professional strengths and weaknesses of GPs. By exploring the inner workings of a typical morning surgery, The Appointment provides a unique insight into the decision-making process that influences patient health outcomes. By gaining a deeper understanding of how GPs think and work, readers can appreciate the challenges and complexities involved in providing high-quality care within these limited time frames.
