Plus the poor dears were given shorter working hours and are no longer
compelled to provide out of hours home visits, which means there is now a
lucrative opportunity open for hundreds of foreign doctors who apparently
find it very worthwhile to commute here and earn good money doing it for
them.

Yes and they're utterly crap. They come out and treat you like ****.

Don't you just love how the skilled artisan is appreciated in today's
British society
In Germany the title "Engineer" is as respected as Doctor

Which doesn't carry much kudos in the UK if it also ends in "GP".


Most GPs are on a £ hundred thousand a year now, you think they give a feck?

When they failed to recognise leukemia in our daughter. When they
failed to recognise bowel cancer in a friend. When they failed to
recognise MND with another. When they failed to recognise heart
failure in myself - I called the ambulance after staggering out of the
consultation room - no, I sincerely don't think they give a hoot.

Somehow I doubt most of what you say is true.

It's easy to rationalise after the event.

"If only the doctor had done this/acted quicker/been a better
mind-reader..."

Not unconnected to the "since you fiddled with my aerial the bathroom
taps have stopped working" syndrome. You've had plenty of that one, I
expect :-)

And particularly prevalent in those (often of a certain age) whose
conversation consists largely of the many ways the country has gone to
hell in a handbasket, often (but not always) accompanied by "I'm not
racist, but...".

Actually, you're correct, I lied about calling the ambulance, my wife
did it for me.

Mine didn't call. She wrote.

I hope she didn't inadvertantly put the wrong postcode on there too

A friend of mine was told by her doctor not to worry about the breast
lumps, because she was pregnant. Then because she was feeding.

She just about survived to her son's second birthday. The birthday
banners were still up for her funeral.
