It’s crazy to me that some of the general public think they can’t get a GP appointment because GPs are lazy
When I can’t get in the hairdressers I conclude they’re busy not lazy. Wake up
'You cannot employ lesser qualified people instead of GPs...the country is not stupid'.

Got quite abruptly told the free tea and coffee on offer today in the postgrad Center was NOT for docs on training days. (I was eagerly walking in it’s direction)
The free coffee was for the executive’s meeting

- I witnessed 1 death, verified 2

I think medicine is great. I think most doctors will agree that when we complain about the job, it’s not the medicine part…it’s not the patients.
It’s the exhausting, unrelenting system we are working in. It’s being underpaid and stretched. It’s the hoops we have to jump.

The problem with suggesting PAs are suited to seeing “minor illness” in GP is
Who gets to decide / deem these patients illnesses as minor? Is it the receptionists booking? (🥴)
Differentiating the sick from the not sick patients in GP is the biggest challenge of the job.

Doctors pay in the UK is poor.
The amount of privileged people in medicine only proves this further to me.
Medicine does not help social mobility.
The poor pay actively pushes doctors who don’t have family money out and keeps those who don’t need to do it for the money in.

Doctors walk into the hospital able to prescribe and order scans. We have done the longest and most insensitive academic training.
We are left as the first point of call overnight and OOH for over 100 patients. Yes, our pay should reflect this.

Solution:
Offer more monetary incentives to work in areas that are undesirable to live/work. Offer job perks. That’s how the real world works.
Do the people in these areas not deserve care from our allegedly brightest? The F 1 s are trained to give help why shouldn't they be sent to these areas
