Karl Kennedy - the most brilliant yet overworked doctor in the world?

Just how does he do it? He combines being a busy (in fact the only one in the area) GP and running his own practice, singlehandedly, with his gynae specialty clinics in the hospital (doing Steph and Max's ultrasound), running the Emergency unit (admitting and overseeing Issy and Paul yesterday) - did he help with Boyd's brain surgery? I'm sure such a brilliant practitioner wouldn't be left on the sidelines.

Let's not forget his counselling at school!

And interneting dating-Dr Lurve

Put the remote down and pop out for a nice long walk at 2.05pm today Tortoiseshell. I am concerned about you...(sigh, how I miss watching Neighbours)
I am impressed with the open-door, multi-caring, well-spoken and funky doctors in Doctors actually. A drama series based around my local practice would be broadcast in the naughty slot of 11pm on Channel Swore I think

welshboris · 08/02/2006 12:37

I quite fancy him

coppertop · 08/02/2006 12:38

And hasn't he offered Susan counselling too?

elliott · 08/02/2006 12:39

its a bit like Usha Gupta, most versatile solicitor in the West Country....

Lucycat · 08/02/2006 12:40

oh and don't forget Stuart the only police officer in Erinsborough - even his sarge sems to have disappeared!

coppertop · 08/02/2006 12:45

And every case Stuart works on seems to involve his friends, family and neighbours. No conflict of interest there at all.

And why does no-one mention Sindy/Cindy anymore?

Gem13 · 08/02/2006 12:50

Don't forget he delivered Lynn's baby too!

And Lou's heart thingy...

Fimbo · 08/02/2006 12:51

And he diagnosed Alex. Oh dear is there no end to his talents

Gem13 · 08/02/2006 12:52

Because there wasn't anywhere for Cindy to go. Plus she was mad which was a bit much at half 1.

Stuarts cases are pretty impressive for a constable who's only been in the force for 6 months, does it all by himself too, what a man.

foxinsocks · 08/02/2006 12:56

and he always does house calls! I think he's been working less at his practice because didn't Paul want to turf him out for working less hours than normal? (totally understandable given his counselling, hospital, personal committments!).

oh yes and Toady - the brilliant lawyer who not only wins every case, does loads of free work but seems to have endless hours to go drinking/have coffee in the cafe/be with his mates.

coppertop · 08/02/2006 13:34

And Karl has even managed to spare a bit of time to join MSF while recovering from his heart attack.......

Piffle · 09/02/2006 10:07

Is it true that Gail robinson is making another comeback?

Really Piffle? I always liked Gail! Seemed to stand up to Paul. Much better than wet Chrissy.

Toady has left school!!!

And become a lawyer!

Cappucino · 10/02/2006 13:32

Karl Kennedy seems to be coming to some Aussie theme pub down the road soon - should I put some of these questions to him?!

TinyGang · 10/02/2006 13:36

I know zippy...that takes one massive leap of imagination doesn't it!?

Fimbo · 10/02/2006 13:39

Who is the mother of "L", Paul's daughter?

tortoiseshell · 10/02/2006 18:36

Gail I think

was gail one of the twins?

and hasn't toady only been practicing law year or two? and toady practices every kind of law-not just family or criminal etc, but everything!

felt sorry for harold today though.

as for the 'doctors' doctors! well, i wish i could join their practice. They pop round to peoples houses because they seemed a bit lonely at their appointment, if people turn up at lunchtime demanding to see a certain dr, they always pop out and say' oh yes , come into my office'
and the receptionist never says' you can be seen for five minutes in three weeks-if your not dead by then!'

alliep30 · 10/02/2006 19:23

Karl is also a fantastic musician and singer..

waterfalls · 10/02/2006 19:26

The twins were coroline and Cristina I think.
