Its is!

Yes unfortunatly
There's a strange idea in the UK that a public health system is fairer than a private one.
This means in practise that you get refered to an NHS (National Health Service) Pdoc by your GP, you don't have much choice as to which Pdoc you get refered to.There are some great Pdocs working on the NHS, but there are also some terrible ones, its just down to luck wether you get a good one or not.
