waited 6 weeks for a GP appointment. was told to 'drink more water and reduce stress.'

Six weeks. Half a day off work. She looked at me for approximately 40 seconds. The prescription was 'water and less stress.' I have specific, persistent symptoms I described in detail. She had already typed the next patient's name.

I've started bringing written notes to appointments. it helps a little. they still don't read them.
