I agree that telling them you feel nervous consulting them might help. It’s hard when there is only 10 minutes and someone told me there is 11 seconds for them to “understand” the issue I can quite believe that too, as that has been my experience at least a couple of times. So I definitely recommend writing something down for them to read.

I have consulted a couple of GP’s who were helpful, or tried to be. One of them retired and the other moved away. I’m keeping my paws crossed for you
