Thanks @amylouise. R u in the UK? I have seen a couple of specialists privately but think it would be difficult to find a private GP? R.

Ruth, BUPA & Nuffield clinics provide private GPs, amongst others (and I’m sure you can find one on Harley Street). I’m not sure it’s worth seeing a private GP unless you are in a very big hurry though? It’s not like they’re generally armed with better knowledge. If you need to see a specialist, go to see a specialist.
