It's that kind of attitude from doctors that annoys me about them. I used to work in a GP surgery and found most of the doctors to be ok, but one was particularly funny. (this was before my nurse training so I don't remember what rhythm he was in!) On the one afternoon that there was no clinical staff, a member of the public not registered at the surgery came in asking for some help as he was complaining of chest pain - I knew that this wasn't something to twiddle thumbs about so called 999. The crew arrived and I asked if he was ok - I was told he was having a heart attack. Thinking I'd get a pat on the head and a star from my bosses, I was cornered and asked why I hadn't called the GP in from home (15miles away) as he would have been able to assess and diagnose! Looking back now since my training, I can see that the Dr was on another planet!! I hope that Dr who's blog you read, reads your side and opinion and takes note of all the red tape that has to be covered, to cover our arses as well as the said GP's!
