That's odd. Based on two exciting experiences, I believe I
might not be alive now if I hadn't had a good primary care
physician.
 

 
As with  university professors or bicycle mechanics, the
good ones are diligent, thorough and effective.  The other
half not so much.
 

 
In my experience kinda depends on your situation I’m somewhat a specialist
subject so GP tend to be a bit befuddled about me as they are generalist.

 
A good GP can diagnose (and treat, if the disease responds to
standard protocol medications) around 90% of all diseases. (I remember
the Queen's GP stating he could diagnose 94%, LOL).
A good GP will have enough experience to know when he has to
refer you to a specialist.
In your case he would probably refer you to a neurologist...
Most patients say a GP is "bad" or "incompetent" if they don't
agree with their own diagnosis.
Or sometimes a GP IS bad or incompetent.... Our local doctors
hired by "least salary" auctions are prime examples of that.

PS Google gets around 80% of diagnosis right if you feed it
the most important symptoms. That means 20% of people that rely on
Google are taking the wrong medicine....

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!
