In general they are fine, essentially depends how comfortable they are
dealing with a condition ultimately isn’t something they have had much
training in, so need to be referred elsewhere, which is complicated by
folks being unaware of how much they have changed!

The GP at the time of my accident for example job was to keep me out of
hospital, as it’s common for people to bounce back and fore.

And with that in place ment she declined my suggestion that I was fine! And
only slowly allowed me back to work increased hours slowly. And saw me on
the day if I had any cause to ring, sometimes within a hour, as well keep
the bugger out of hospital!
