She had a final-year student with her, so I suppressed the usual "answer the questions I need to to get my new medication" reflex and went into everything. The student asked a few questions about the medical certificate I needed, so with luck he's learned something about the disability benefits system - I'm very much more than willing to take a few extra minutes to help future GPs learn how it works!<br /><br />And more than anything, I like their willingness to help. "How long is this for? - Dr A gave you two months? I've put three, to be on the safe side."<br /><br />The most I'd managed to get out of anyone before going to this practice is a month at a time, and that grudgingly, so this has really cheered me up.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=mirrorshard&ditemid=229316" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
