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.


My GP failed to recognise gall stones prescribing me endless antacids,
wasn't until i got to A&E doubled up in pain that a simple ultrascan
showed up the problem.

GP's exist to stop you seeing a real doctor

I learnt the lesson if you need real medical help go the A&E
