My ex Neurologist became annoyed when I wanted a second opinion. HE decided he didn't want me as a patient....I'm better off without him. Unfortunately there seems to be a "closed shop" attitude here and now I can't find a Neurologist who will take me on as a patient and I am on the waiting list for a Public Hospital appointment (they can't refuse to treat you). The wait is 4-5 years. This is a large country (physically) but doctor numbers are tightly controlled by the doctors themselves to reduce competition between them. The side effect is that the patient doesn't get much choice.
