Thinking some more about this, and advice that we all got long ago: with the extreme shortage of GPs
here, she is wise to invest in a relationship with a capable but young doctor. So many are at retirement age and once you lose a GP, it is almost impossible to get another. It is rare for me to meet someone in my city, who actually has a GP, even people who have lived here all their lives.
I have had to go to a walk-in clinic for the past 3 years (with a 3 hour wait) but even at that, the 2 doctors I was seeing are now both retired.
I think this was advice that came out in the news about 15 years ago. It is worth heeding.
