The actual experience of nhs appointments

1 an appointment waiting time of 3 months.
1 Having to schlepp across town to the hospital at the Docters convenience, that would make sense if they were bothering to use technical equipment during diagnosis, but it’s just a kind of listen and glance over 1950’s kind of diagnosis, nothing seems to have evolved since that period, from a diagnostic perspective in a technical sense.
2 I arrive 15 mins before the appointment sit waiting for an hour past appointment before being seen.
3 the actual appointment last around 15-20 mins ?
4 the diagnosis is different from the last specialist, this time a treatment is suggested though the lack of concensus in diagnosis, is realistic yet a little disconcerting, though the lack of scientific testing and digital record keeping is as per usual the most worrying factor.

If I treated my technical support clients in a similar Manner I would have no work as my clients would look elsewhere. This is the problem with treatment that is provided through tax funds that are perceived to be free. From the user and provider perspective. It lowers expectation of quality on both sides to the point of futility.
