GP's Question

    When you go to the GP with X, Y or Z complaint; one of the questions that the doctor tends to ask (at least in my experience) is whether you work, and if so, doing what.

    Am I correct in assuming that they are just looking for an idea of your activity level during your working day (i.e. “I sit behind a desk” “I drive a truck” etc.) so that they can recommend the best course of action to treat whatever complaint you might have?

    I would say so, yes.

    the more variables the GP is aware of, the better the recommendation for treatment can be.

    A lot of complaints could be work related, and not just about activity levels.
