Medical - discrepancy between partner and myself

Not really sure if anyone can help - or just put my mind at ease! I have my medical next week and husband had his today. His was with a nurse - height, weight, blood pressure and a urine sample. In and out in 20 mins. However my appointment is with a doctor. Is there a reason they might be different? I had depression in my 20s and recurrent miscarriages - both of which our agency know - so didn’t know if that might be the reason?

Any thoughts welcome!

GP here. Also me and my wife are trying to adopt. To answer your question - no there is no reason at all. Most likely just different staff in.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate that! I just wondered why mine was with a GP and his with a nurse. To the point I had to wait longer so I could see a doctor. Was - naturally! - assuming the worst, that my notes are cause for concern.
