They should really be accompanied by family or at last have a 20 mins slot

Some patients have so many comorbids , one look and you know they should be on SOC follow-up yet SOC only see them yearly and they come to ops with all their complex issues and you scratch ur brain cause u really need time to solve the issues . These are the bounce in & out of A&E kinds . You can tell why soc doesnt wanna see them more often as well. Ant tips of such patients ? I feel its not a mmed vs gdfm or lack of training or medical knowledge issue . It is actually time , what you need is time to look thru their pmhx , summarise and solve one by one , yet u have only 5-10 mins per pt
