Nice! My GP listens, takes time and does the extra mile for me. Despite my crappy insurance that pays him very little for it.
But sometimes I blame him for not catching the ADD earlier. He prescribed me benzos as early as 2009 when things were repeatedly getting “too much” in every job or relationship after a couple of months. On the other hand, when he finally did refer me to a psychiatrist, he didn’t catch it either.
