| Difficult reseptionists asking inappropriate questions which are non of their business. |
|
1 |
| Doctors attitudes. They're just not interested. You go there with a concern and you feel they've got in wrong. They're ignorance is quite an issue. They don't know enough about all the things they need to. |
|
1 |
| Embarassment if you can't get an appointment with a male doctor (if you're a male). |
|
1 |
| Explaining to an employer why I'm off. (Would they be sympathetic about it?). |
|
1 |
| Family had problems (being scared as a result) |
|
1 |
| From past experience the doctors can't always be bothered with you. My husband went to see his doctor about a cough and he said it was nothing. It was later diagnosed as throat cancer. |

| Housebound |
|
1 |
| I can't be bothered to go because they'll get it all wrong (like with my husband when he had leg pains, they said it was arthritis but he had cancer in his leg). |
|
1 |
| I don't feel confident with my doctor |
|
1 |
| I don't go very often, probably because I'm never ill so it would have to be very specific for me to go. |
|
1 |
| I don't like doctors |
|
1 |
| I don't like going to the doctors - a build up of nerves. As you get older you worry more where you're going to end up. |
|
1 |
| I don't like having to see a different GP each time I go to the surgery. Having to explain my medical history again and again can delay me going. |
|
1 |
| I dont like doctors |
|
1 |
| I dont think doctors have the knowledge they used they dont seem prepared to deal with it themselves. They are to keen to rush you off to a specialist at the hospital. |
|
1 |
| I grew up on the chidren's leukemia ward and I'd rather not know. |
|
1 |
| I hate hospitals and doctors as people put too much emphasis on illness and go when they don't need to and waste the doctor's time (having said that though, I've not gone to the doctor's when I really should have). |
|
1 |
| I have had more success with alternative practitioners with some issues so I would go to them first |
|
1 |
| I have no faith in my doctor. |
|
1 |
| I like to wait for a preferred doctor |
|
1 |
| I prefer to wait for a lady doctor |
|
1 |
| I try to make sure I see a particular doctor at the practice. |
|
1 |
| I was shocked at the quality of treatment I had at a hospital in Worksop. There was a shocking lack of interest in my symptoms so I would go private if at all possible even though I can't afford it. Because I couldnt trust the people in the NHS trust this |
|
1 |
| I will sometimes delay seeking medical advice until I can talk to the GP of my choice in my practice. |
|
1 |
| I would be too anxious |
|
1 |
| I would probably delay going to see the doctor for a long time due to thinking it was a less serious problem. |
|
1 |
| I would wait and see if it clears. I would try over the counter remedies first |
|
1 |
| I would wait to see if a symptom would heal by itself before going to the doctor. |
|
1 |
| I wouldn't neccessarily register surreptitious changes |
|
1 |
| I wouldn't want referring, the parking there is terrible. If I had |
|
1 |
| I wouldn't want the doctor to think I'm a hypochondriac. If I'd been a lot recently with the children I might not want to go about myself. |
|
1 |
| I'd just go if I thought something was wrong, not before. |
|
1 |
| I'd wait and see if it cleared up |
|
1 |
| I'd worry that they wouldn't take me seriously |
|
1 |
| If I didn't think it was serious |
|
1 |
| If I had holiday plans |
|
1 |
| If I thought by waiting a week or two it would get better. |
|
1 |
| If I thought it wasn't neccessary |
|
1 |
| If I was away from home (I'm a long distance driver). |
|
1 |
| If I was going on holiday I would put off going to the Doctor's. |
|
1 |
| If im too ill to get there. |
|
1 |
| If it was a personal issue and i had to see a female doctor i would be put off going. |
|
1 |
| If my husband was very poorly and I was looking after him |
|
1 |
| If on Holiday or going on holiday. |
|
1 |
| If there was something important happening in my life I might delay it in the short term (eg a wedding) |
|
1 |
| Im scared stiff of going to the Doctor's! |
|
1 |
| It is extremely difficult to get an appointment at the doctor's |
|
1 |
| It would depend which doctor I am seeing. |
|
1 |
| Just dismissing it, delaying response hoping goes away |
|
1 |
| Just if wondering if it was serious enough |
|
1 |
| Just in general, busy lifestyle and putting it off. |

1 |
| The Doctor does not take concern's seriously |
|
1 |
| The doctor seems to want me out as soon as I have walked in, he is so abrupt. I always get the same doctor. We have no female GP's. |
|
