Have you ever felt unheard by your doctor or GP? Here's why.

Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan told 5 Live some of the reasons why medical staff may have made you feel rushed or unheard.

"In our medical training, we're taught to be slightly sceptical of what patients tell us... it's an approach that we are taught so that we can be objective", she said.

She conceded however, this approach can lead to greater distance between doctor and patient, resulting in an "innate scepticism" from doctors.
