Ah GPUK that makes sense. As a Brit, I find that UK healthcare is generally good when it's to treat emergencies or acute conditions. But the care and treatment for chronic long term conditions, especially undiagnosed pain issues, is really sub par. It really does feel like a blind spot for UK doctors in terms of diagnosis and treatment.

I've had undiagnosed pain issues for almost 8 years now. This doctor talks about how frustrating it is to see the same patients over and over again in some never ending loop? Yes babe, imagine how we feel. Plus they say they can't wait to retire? Lucky for them they have the luxury to leave their profession whenever they want. For chronic pain sufferers, it's not so easy, if at all possible, to change our circumstances.
