I will share my example of the worst, most useless GP I have encountered.
Many years ago I decided to quit smoking, and did so with the help of the Allan Carr book. About six weeks later I had to see a GP for another reason, and told him that I had quit and that I was very pleased to have done so without too much misery. His response was to offer me nicotine replacements, I said no thank you, I don't need them, he then said "Oh nobody succeeds in giving up the first time, you will fail time and again and you might well be dependent on patches or anti-psychotics for a long time". He seemed affronted that I had succeeded without his help.
For the record, I have never smoked again.
