This is true. Todger's correct.
My dentist is one such place, for a start.

The dentists are NHS, but apparently the hygienists are not any more, and have to be paid on top of dental fees.

Similarly, a doctor can't conduct a physical examination over the phone or video link.

At least not until we develop Feelivision.

Yes but they can diagnose you and generate a prescription or refer you to a real person if they think it's more serious. GPs are gatekeepers.

Feelvision = scary. How long until they ask us to "self-probe"?

dentists are private contractors like GPs. Unless they are in a special clinic for people who can't go to a regular dentist or in a hospital.

haha! Yes you are right!

However, I was thinking more of a probe with a camera that gets transmitted via WWW to the doctor. Someone is doubtless already planning this.

Ah, that probe!
I wouldn't want one of those, thank you very much.

The 'pelvic outlet' is so named for a very good reason.

Hi

Councils will not be back to normal for years.

Social Services bills have rocketed and Income has been trashed.
