My GP is fantastic for routine physical stuff, and even then she sometimes admits that she doesn't know stuff, which I like her being honest about. Several years ago, my blood wasn't clotting normally so she ordered a bunch of tests, and then when the tests came back she looked things up in a hemaetology text with me there, and then refered me on to a speciailist. But she freely says that she's out of her league when it comes to dealing with my psych meds and is quite happy that I have a psychiatrist who handles my prescribing. She's just happy that I'm getting decent help.

I think being part of a good GP is having a good network of specialists who you can refer out to.
