sadly true. will never trust a GP's diagnosis. turned up at too many people seen by their doctor and told they have heartburn or a chest infection only to, after a few standard questions, know that thier having an MI. I guess that we have more time than doctors to make even simple enquiries but it's still very disturbing to think that GP's can miss serious signs/symptoms. --also, have you ever walked in on a GP doing CPR on a bouncing bed, or giving fluids to someone who he'll describe to you as pulsless, apnoeic with fixed and dilated pupils. scares me that even basic cpr or recognition of a dead(or at least seriously ill) person is beyond some inteligent, well educated, highly trained doctors. everyone makes mistakes but if mistakes can be made by doctors, and i hope it is because of time constraints, then the system is wrong......sorry, bit of a bee in my bonnet about this.
