GP Bashing

[Arealmanithink]

To think this was really unnecessary and politically driven? Why? Just why?

grey geese absolutely. As a single woman presenting with abdo pain I had every STD screen going and when they couldn't find anything gynaecologically wrong they decided I was just unhinged. I told them the pain was colicky and was presumably coming from my bowel and the muppets decided it was "referred pain" without even checking. Kind of a shame it was a massive fucking tumour.

If the NHS is so great why has nobody else copied it? It's cheap (ergo efficient) but I doubt the French, Swiss or Germans would want to swap.

GPs are being disrespected, underpaid and overworked. They are doing 12-14 hr day with over 100 patient contacts a day.
Most of them are kind and smile while doing it, the others just want to get through the work, abuse and stress so they can go home to eat and possible see a member of their family or a friend before everyone has gone to sleep.
why are less people being gps? why are newly qualified gps leaving the profession? i ask that question to the public, instead of siding with political mistruths maybe we should all try defending the people who are trying to look after us... and start looking out for them. just a thought.
