Wow managed to get a telephone call with a GP tomorrow! it Was like trying to get a ticket for Glastonbury, refresh, refresh, refresh. It’s a fucking disgrace, im sorry but the nhs is not fit for purpose at the moment, something needs to change and fast.
Your memory's gone Bill. You can change to a different practice without a problem. The actual problem is getting the same gp twice in a row, even though, through Ask My Lazy GP.It's a weird system in England, I remember it. You have your own GP and that's it. You can't just go to another GP.
Here it's different. All GP's are in private practices. Which means you can go to any GP you want, you can go and get a 2nd opinion if you want.
Although I've only seen the same GP for the last 5 years because she's bloody great.
When you go you dont pay, the bill is sent to Medicare and they pay it.
I can usually see my GP the next day. If she was away or something I could see another one.
TBF it's a great system they have here.
I do not know whether they did or didn't do what you say but it has fuck all to do with the gp system.The government closed 19,000 hospital beds and got rid of 50,000 doctors and nurses.
It was never going to end well.
Just saying.
No it is not part of the Tory plan. Johnson has not told the entire North West gp service to act like wankers.All part of the Tories plan. Underfund, overcomplicate, and when it fails tell the public the only way to save it is to privatise.
The NHS was funded by a percentage of GDP from inception until the 80s. Then it all started to change. It's now already partly privatised. And it's a mess!
If you change surgeries you'll end up with the same problems just in a different building. The tories want you to die so they don't have to payout benefits or pensions. I just hope that fat ginger lying tosspot gets the monkey pox and rams one too many banana s up his rusty bullet hole.No it is not part of the Tory plan.

I changed surgeries because they were useless and lazy, all I got was exactly the same.
I annoys me when labour supporters blame the tories for everything.
Care and consideration, professional pride, a desire to help, the tories didn't remove any of that in the last round of cuts.
I've suffered for over 2 years, I've seen gp wankers, specialist wankers and wankers in general. They have lost all professional pride.
Whilst I agree with all of that I do not agree it is the Torys fault.If you change surgeries you'll end up with the same problems just in a different building.

That is not that weirdo Johnston, a tory ploy to privatise the NHS or Sunak trying to save money, that is an ignorant wanker and sadly there are too many if them
Re my mam, ta, she is quiet, church going and mother's union, but when the gp told her to phone, the inner Kippax after a 3 nil loss to Bury came out. He's sent the letter :-)Hope your mum got sorted eventually mate, shocking treatment.
The Tories have been shit haven't they? But as you say the NHS is infested with people you mention in your post.

I didnt day you were ! I just disagreed with your statement that it was a tory plan.I’m not a Labour supporter you tool

I do get stressed with the shit I'm having to deal with and I may over react because of it. I am sure there are some good doctors out there it is just I have yet to meet them.
I just want to see them think about their patients rather than themselves.
GP's down 1700 since 2015.No it is not part of the Tory plan. Johnson has not told the entire North West gp service to act like wankers.

Interestingly enough, who do you think will be doing your £7500 operation? What do you think will happen, should you get into serious difficulties on the operating table and need critical care? Which hospitals do you think make trainee doctors into doctors?I’ve already come to terms that if my back injury is what I expect it to be it’s going to cost me £7.5k to fix it!! If waiting times are years I can’t live like this, within a month I’ll be sorted. I should be able to at least claim the tax back if the nhs can’t fulfil its obligation.
Some of these doctors need to remember the Hippocratic Oath.
It is a bit difficult when 2 identical threads are running at the same time, I have just posted in the other one, since May 2000 I have been sent twice to hospital as an emergency. I have had 3 different scans including MRI and the brain one. I have seen an eye specialist and a neurologist plus various others. In 2 years despite repeated requests at TWO different surgeries, I have NEVER seen a gp.I can guarantee you there are many great doctors and many health care professionals who are brilliant. Of course some are lazy, work-shy or whatever else you want to label them. The NHS is the biggest employer in the UK - you going to get some bad uns.
But what is undeniable is that a series of recent governments - Labour included but mostly the tories - have systematically undermind and underfunded the NHS. The system, partly because of covid too and the backlog it created, is at breaking point. And make no mistake a significant section of the tories want it to break so they can fully privatise it!
I know who will be doing it, probably the same doctor if I wait two years to see. My point is that me been off work long term costs the tax payer far more than if they at least meet me halfway. I’m not saying I’m more important than anyone else, but if I can get well and be productive again then surely that’s a plus?Interestingly enough, who do you think will be doing your £7500 operation?

That’s fair enough, and you’re perfectly entitled to be treated wherever you like, at whatever facility you choose, but you were suggesting you should get a tax rebate and I was just explaining why you shouldn’t.I know who will be doing it, probably the same doctor if I wait two years to see.
