Your GP "yelled" at you and "made up" random diagnoses to save a few £ per month, deliberately putting your partner's health at risk?

Any GP doing what you say would lose their job and not be allowed to practice again.

My understanding is that you (and maybe your partner) had specific expectations about who you would see and what they would do for you. Your expectations were not met, and you've interpreted this very negatively through some basic misunderstandings of how the NHS works.

Despite the fact that you clearly dislike this, it is indeed true. You can't ask an NHS GP to prescribe a specific medication and offer to pay for it yourself. The NHS buys meds and issues them through prescriptions. That's pretty much it.

Just to be clear: I fully accept that not all experiences with GPs are perfect (and neither are all experiences with consultants).

If you want to tell a doctor what you want and have them give it to you, stick to private care. Your opinion of NHS GPs is clearly very low, and unfortunately seems misinformed.
