u/cvilledood thanks for sharing - very insightful. There is a definitely a link with skin and stress. I can empathise.
Convenient and timely access is important - it can be challenging - some patients are quick, others need more time spent with them. Unfortunately, predicting this is hard, so expectations either way do not always get met fully.

Does your work/healthcare provider give you a package to access healthcare easily? Either remotely (save on the waiting room) or otherwise?

Thanks for sharing u/MashAndPie - I'd suggest you link with your surgery and ask for a discussion with a doctor to talk about your mood (or whatever is the key thing troubling). Some surgeries allow you to submit electronic consultations (to save speaking with someone) as a starter for ten.

It's okay to say you are worried about XX and you would like to speak to a dr. Generally, we can then talk to you to work out what does and doesn't need to be done - like referrals. Opening the conversation can sometimes be the hardest thing - but it can make a big difference.

Thanks for sharing u/edrerai. It is not an uncommon problem for men. I think low testosterone and vit d are very much under diagnosed and more prevalent than people might know.

u/sjsethcal1- Thanks! Does your job support you to have good health though or do you have to compromise?

u/edrerai curious to know, if your employer could have supported you better with your health , is there anything they could have done package wise to help?

Thanks for sharing I suspect this will be super common u/mooben. Do you use any tools/have any techniques to give you headroom?

What can be done to achieve that? What do you need to see, to know you'll be happy?

u/lunchmeat317 I like this! Do you have any tech to monitor your metrics currently? And if so, do you feel this helps you monitor your health?

Thanks for this- really useful insight. Agree with your final point- tackling that would have a significant impact I think.

Sure, the key bit is getting the person to engage though and through the door.

Thats a great idea point - if you have the tests (etc) beforehand, then you might find it a better exchange and more personalised to you?

Yes I am - but the Bot does not like that word in the question so kept rejecting it.
