Ask not what the cluster can do for you,
But instead ask what you can do for the cluster

You planning to do fcfp?

Fellow OPS-ians , can i check how do you all deal with the extremely anxious and repetitive patients ? I know it sounds like im unempathetic but i really cannot take it anymore its very very hard knowing my q is building up outside , especially if the same pt is anxious about many things and not wanting to leave the room .

These patients are also starting to be more frequent . How can 5-10 mins truly be sufficient ?

Sometimes their anxiety makes me anxious as well about the q . Bad

Other examples include the hearing challenged elderly that come alone with no hearing aid or poorly functioning aids that i need to scream at the top of my lungs so they can hear me ?

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

True answer is he/she is not a specialist.
a true specialist will know how to triage and manage the consult.
