Re: An MOT at Doc's
Well you know GR the wish to slag anyone who works for the NHS off at every opportunity does wear a little thin GR, in your sincere wish to see all doctors as the spawn of the devil you forget that they are just a person doing their work as best they can.
If you dislike them so much then find an alternative, no sarcasm in that, I woulds say it's the sensible option.
If you really do believer that all medics are so rubbish then take yourself to a faith healer or whatever does float your boat, there's an unending supply of them on-line and also an unending supply of whatever supplement you may wish.
It's really not a problem at all.
As for my own health which you seem just a little interested in, thank you I'm rather healthy at present and no meds required, should I need any in the future I am happy to discuss things with a GP and subsequently a consultant.
If you have issues with the drug companies fair enough, follow that path rather than blame the doc.
There is in fact often a real problem in not prescribing, patients demand prescriptions and immediate answers and there is violence and intimidation.
Add that to the budget and targets and unending paperwork and form filling etc so much so that there isn't enough time to see the patients.
The person who started out going into medicine because they wanted to make a difference and help poorly people can be very disillusioned quite quickly.
