Okay, so I sent my friend in to get her blood pressure checked as she has symptoms. She came out without having that done.
Instead she got a song and dance about how busy and important the doctor is (a new guy, from the U.S. I think). After that there was no time left to take her blood pressure.
Also, he told her that he was not looking for new patients, just walk-ins. Clearly walk-ins don't take as much of his time so they pay more. Greed and arrogance, that is so often what we get from doctors these days.
My friend's time was wasted and she felt a lack of caring, so she is not going back.
