True or False? Those who are ill should see a specialist before visiting their primary care physician.

The answer is False.

Explanation:

When you are ill the first person you should consult is your primary care physician also known as your general practitioner/GP or local doctor. They are ones based at your local health center. You only see a specialist once you have been referred to one by your doctor if they feel that you need to see one. A specialist would be a secondary care practitioner.
