My GPs in France would see me for at least 30 minute each time, taking great care to check everything. It was quite a shock when I arrived in the UK and my GP would show me the door after 10 minutes. The downside is that the French GP will never take you on time for your appointment, but you will feel that you are taken care of, unlike in the UK system. I came once just for a quick health check before start a new sport, and I got an electro-cardiogram (to check for heart murmur, for free obviously), simply because I never had one in my life. They will often ask if your vaccinations are in order, how do you feel, things like that.
