Avoid this GP at all costs. As soon as you ask this man a question, his defence mechanism kicks in and he will be abrupt and very sarcastic with his response rather than answer a patient's question.
He advised I take some Nurofen Plus for back soreness. I asked if just pain, why am I feeling so tight like I have pinched a nerve or pulled a muscle as I am unable to turn my neck and the pain is excruciating. He answered in these exact words.. 'sounds like you know more than me.. how about you write a book about it'. I replied, "I just asked a question. Im not undermining your position. I've explained my symptoms and you tell me to take painkillers with no explanation so I thought Id ask". He replies, "Im a GP. We can't predict everything".
Seriously, WOW. I thought my last visit 10mths ago to him was on his bad day. This confirmed that his bad days are everyday.
