I hope I didn't give that impression.
Having said that, I do think doctors should be "waiting around to help us", after all that's why they trained to become doctors (I would hope): that they wanted to help people and to transform people's lives. Unfortunately my GPs services are controlled by government targets, primary healthcare trust budgets and IMO are a glorified shop front for pharmaceutical companies (even my doctor agrees to this), but then that's just my opinion and I am sure other people would differ with me on this point.
I am currently looking into going to see a private healthcare practioner in London, however I have to save up the money to do that (comfortably) as I don't want to go to the initial consultation and then find I cannot pay for treatments etc.
