Of course they were as I'm an older person who you think should not receive medical help don't you?
Junior Doctors Strikes
- Thread starter Dr House
- Start date
I was trying to avoid their non sense, as I mentioned above.
You said that nature should take its course for older people, so live by your own philosophy and stop using doctors and just let nature guide you through your life.
Ok, Im done.
Sorry about that but I haven't had an argument with a child for ages.
Can be as healthy all you want. That doesn’t stop being hit by a car or a bus lol. Or are you immune to anything that might change your health in an instant?Here you go, this is a small promo video I did for the company I work for a few weeks back Feel free to take a look
My body is a temple for virtue...........Because it isand the evidence is posted right there for everyone to see.
So I will continue to let nature take its course, while I be more fit and healthy than 99.9% of people on this planet, never mind the people in this thread! While a number of you complain about the NHS, with your over hanging stomach looking like you are 6 months pregnant

Sorry to have to break this to you but Jedi's don't exist in real life. So I would seek professional help for this delusion before you hurt yourself trying to refect something. Even in the film their powers couldn't stop them being killed or dying of old age.I have Jedi reflects, what are you talking about
What?! I signed up to the gym on the condition that I would become a Jedi? I am truly disappointed now.
On the BBC suvery is a small number of GPs who think patients are putting problems on, that kind of thought needs to be weeded out of them via training (all medical staff not just GPs), because if they start judging patients and get it wrong, it leaves people untreated.

Its a pass the parcel game, I think if a patient has proven they tried their GP but there was no response (or no adequate response), then a&e should either force the GP to see them, or deal with the patient themselves. Otherwise its just ping ponging the patient leaving them untreated. Ingrowing toenails can become serious problems, and that comment from the NHS managers is a signal of a cultural problem, where they want to wait for problems to become serious before taking action.
Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles
NHS bosses warn the public to use hospitals wisely amid concern this could be a tough winter.www.bbc.co.uk
As I said before get a medicine chest. Hospitals are not for minor ailments. Tough it out.
I know ambulance crews are able to force a GP to see a patient, there should be a way for a&e triage to do the same, I would support that, rather than just sending the patient away.

Where is elsewhere? I made my own suggestions and was laughed out of the building. Just because there isnt enough resources, we dont have to accept it as acceptable.
Also ultimately we cant have receptionists making medical decisions, triage is still a medical decision. A sore throat sensation could potentially be throat cancer as an example. At the very least it needs to be someone with experience in the field even if its a nurse or clinician, and pharmacists where I got laughed at are a clear step up from a receptionist.

Ah yes better not have health care professionals judge patients health problems......
Better to indulge all the fantastical symptoms and massively over investigate/over treat.

Reported symptoms should always be taken seriously, if they not its a cultural issue, I think the only time it might be acceptable not to if, is the patient is in clear mental distress, or have a illness that affects their rational thought process.
I think I have my answer to the question now thank you, it seems you dont believe in caution first. Over treating is far more preferable to under treating.
What happens to your patients with genuine issues you deem fantasy?
Not saying you have to diagnose with whatever the patient is saying wrong with them, but to just throw out what they telling you as some kind of fantasy is really disrespectful to the people coming to you for help, and risks leaving them untreated.

How many public messages do we need on tv telling us to see out gp with xyz symptoms and yet most of us cannot even see a gp face to face and even worse with them being biast that their precious time is being wasted. Pathetic. It’s why hospitals are being smashed. GPs have tapped out.
A sore throat apparent for more than a week should be investigated if it is not cured by a packet of 'Throaties', otherwise it is a sore throat. I have a near permanent cough caused primarily by historic smoking. I am not going to a GP with that
I hope you have at least had it checked at some point. Although I'd probably recommend going private...

Not really dude. You need to stop believing everything that Jon Bon Jovi tells you.
Prickles. Roses do not have thorns, they have prickles.
The thing is GPs are seeing more patients than ever before. The need has risen and the staff and resource for them haven’t. I do 12 hour days. How much more do you think I should be doing? In no way have GPs tapped out. Due the way they are run they are probably the one area that has got closer to keeping pace with demand, but still not enough
