Slightly worried, should I be?

My surgery you have to wait outside and they just look at you whilst you’re in the street and try and diagnose you from there.
 
At our surgery you give them your make, model and colour of your car and the reg. You wait in the car and they come and get you. Temp check and hand sanitiser as well as masks
Love the idea, but doesn’t help us that don’t drive. My surgery started with this and the ones who didn’t drive just had to sit on seats outside, they changed there minds when cold weather started.

My surgery took out most of the seats in the waiting room and had the remaining half a dozen well spaced out.
 
Just as a bit of an update, I have contacted the surgery just to ask what the procedure will be because my GP is inside quite a large health centre with multiple GP's (and other health services) based there.....so there's no way they would see you waiting from inside and call you in, it's a big open space with various desks for each GP that are all at the far end away from the entrance.

Basically the lady said to just go in as normal and wear a mask.

It didn't re-assure me much I have to say, so I am still concerned, but I have to get my bloods checked.

My sister had a problem with her ears, muffled hearing. She phoned the GP, eventually had a 5 min phone consultation and he prescribed her a range of stuff working on the basis one of them would work
