I found the GP dealing with the Lady and her personality disorder unsympathetic.

Am watching it. There is lots of support yet they seem to want the GP to resolve with no input from them. There isn't a tablet to make you stop drinking, to make you eat more fruit and veg and to stop eating junk food, I think some personal responsibility for your health is needed but some of the patients are incapable of doing this.

Honestly if a person with a drink problem is offered counselling and support and they don't turn up I don't know what the answer is.

I thought the GP's were all really good, the girl with the personality disorder had a long history , we saw a mere few minutes and I thought he was sympathetic and constructive with her.

It must be a difficult job with fewer and fewer resources to call upon.

I too felt uncomfortable with some of this. I did think however that it gave a good insight into how frustrating life as a GP must be.

Not my practice but lots of friends go there and have just watched it. Recognised quite a few faces...I thought it was a bit 'channel 5' and didn't think that many of those people were capable if giving fully informed consent to be filmed. I love a good fly on the wall documentary but just felt a bit wrong for some reason- possibly because I live nearby and saw familiar faces??
