My GP doesnât even allow you to book double length appointments online. Youâre limited to 10 minutes unless you call them up, which is a minimum 20 minute hold time somehow, usually closer to 30/40 mins
I try not to judge when he runs late, because heâs a good egg, and having been that person who really needed a double length consult, Iâm damn glad he didnât just kick me out half way through
Theyâre also fucking expensive and waste their money on fancy artwork on the walls đ
I donât have to worry about costs RN because they entirely bulk bill under 18s, and once they donât, I have a little bit of funding to cover medical bills. But once itâs on my own dime Iâm gonna switch quicksmart. The trouble is, decent GPs very rarely work in those lower cost clinics which sucks

Mine have recently started charging more based on how long the consult actually takes, on a sliding scale. Which makes sense, and I love how thorough my GP is, but it gets a bit exxy.
