I don't think the government trusts doctors. 
I find that the new batch of young doctors ( I have one) are not very effective. Also anecdotal.

I recently saw him re enormous stress etc, caused by a situation. I requested a doctor's note for my lawyer. He did nothing except write the note. Not even a blood pressure test. I have lived with a chronic back disability for years. I have known excruciating,  debilitating  pain. ie pre and post operations.
 I hear some doctor's are seeing patients every 10 minutes or so. 
What is the cost of the support that the good doctor is recommending? What is being done about the wait times?
