Re: More Crap GP Work
by Martyn
I work as a Technician in the Home Counties. My colleague and I went to a GPs practice where the GP stated that she suspected that this man was having an MI. The genlemen was a 52 year old male, overweight and former heavy smoker - so it was quite possible. My colleague then asked her if she had done an ECG. "No." she replied "I was too busy with my other patients! We looked around and the practice was closed - there was no one else about other than the receptionist. Again the patient had no O2, no aspirin and no GTN. When I asked my colleague about our options or reporting the GP (I asked him as I'm new to this and he's not) he told me that there is little that we can do. GPs are way higher up the chain than we are and who are we to question their medical treatment. As others have said - if that were one of my loved ones I would be livid with the care that was given.
