{"product_id":"easton-graham-the-appointment-9781472136329","title":"The Appointment","description":"Have you ever wondered what your GP is thinking during your ten minute consultation? We have always been fascinated by our own health, but for many of us seeing the GP has become a regular activity. In the past decade the average number of times a patient visits their GP has almost doubled. Getting to see a doctor is not always easy so those intimate ten minutes are more precious than ever, but for most of us the nuts and bolts of medical practice remain a mystery - a closed box. Taking the reader through a standard morning surgery, The Appointment shines a light onto what is really going on during your consultation and, for the first time, lets you get inside the mind of the person sitting in front of you - the professional you rely on to look after your health. Experienced GP Dr Graham Easton offers an intimate, honest and informed account of how he tries to make sense of a patient's health problems and manage them within the constraints of an all-too-brief appointment in an over-stretched health system. Dr Graham Easton is a practising GP, Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners and Programme Director for GP Specialty Training at Imperial College London. He has also spent twenty years communicating medical ideas to the non-medical public, both as senior producer and presenter in the BBC Radio Science Unit and as a writer for publications including Eve Magazine the BBC Health website, the Radio Times and Tesco Healthy Living. He is a co-author of How to Pass the CSA Exam (the clinical exam all GPs in the UK have to pass) and General Practice at a Glance.","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53686494789974,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781472136329_1.jpg?v=1778854342","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/easton-graham-the-appointment-9781472136329","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
