N.H.S pressies

[Julian64]

So, I'm sittng in my consultation room this morning surrounded by pressies from patients, and this is only a week after posting that saturdays were ending.

Its a loverly time of year. Just had a four year old come and ask me who they were all for. I told him they were from grateful patients.

So he thought for a moment and then handed me a Mr invincible keyring. His mum said he got it from a packet of frosties. At first I refused but he was insistent that I put it with my other pressies.

He's just left my room. Can't talk anymore, I'm having a 'welling up, moment'

Waiting lists are long enough as it is.

Viciously unchristmas like post from you Lois. Be ashamed.

Again, I blame the government. And this is where fact becomes stranger than fiction. In its infinate wisdom it decided all patients require the same standard 10 minutes appointments with me. Gone are the days that if a patient wanted something quick I could then use that time on the next patient. Now I have to sit and twiddle my thumbs after the patient has left waiting for the ten minutes to count down before I can call the next one in. Apparantly the government says this is what patients want.

So far in one week on pistonheads I have blamed the government for this, ending my saturday contact with patients, and people flashing you when you overtake.

Tell me that's not really true.
Please.

You have no .

P.S. My sympathies to your parents. The NHS has lost many a good GP recently, and still it moans that it can't understand the recruitment crisis?
