EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Dr. Max Skittle (The Secret GP) and Chris Williamson, What Really Goes On Inside Your Doctor's Surgery | The Secret GP | Modern Wisdom Podcast 202 explores anonymous GP Reveals Emotional Realities Behind Ten-Minute Consultations Chris Williamson interviews anonymous GP and author "Dr. Max Skittle" about the hidden realities of working in general practice and writing a warts‑and‑all diary-style book on it. Max explains why he stays anonymous, how confidentiality and self‑protection shape what he can share, and what really happens in those pressured 10‑minute appointments. They dig into patient responsibility, emotional burnout, performance targets, and the strange blend of detective work, counseling, and blunt honesty that defines modern GP work. The conversation also covers how patients can be “better patients,” the impact of stigma and embarrassment on care, and how doctors cope with constant exposure to illness, trauma, and human vulnerability.
