'Doctors surgeries are losing the equivalent of one GP per week because patients do not show up for appointments, an MP has warned. |

Since the beginning of this year, our surgery has been operating a phone triage system if someone wants a same day appointment. Not sure how well that one works. No wonder so many people clog up A&E with 'minor' complaints. |

'Doctor Dolittle' could have been an apt title for my GP 'till I saw the light & moved to another one in the same practice. |

A suspected 215 victims, would have many more if he hadn't aroused suspicion in a funeral director who discussed it with one of his colleagues. Uninvolved Doctors had been co signing authorisation for cremation. |

I have to say that I was pleased that I wasn't Mrs Shipman because he might have been eyeing me up with a view to trading me in for a younger model. :-0 |

Harold Shipman had an excellent medical manner and was well liked by his patients / victims. That is why he got away with his crimes for so long. |

Yes I remember the doctor of my childhood who would come out to a house call carrying his black bag and draw up a chair at the sied of the bed (placed there by mother who had frantically tidied the whole house befor he appeared.) He was lovely, so gentle, he lived to a good age too. I had good doctors too when we had our children, they would also, without fuss, make house calls. All of these from the 1940s (for me) right through to 1973 with our son had surgeries where you went and queued to see doctor and where doctor would come out to the house. that was in first Hampshire and then Essex. Then we moved to The Forest of Dean, children I am pretty sure didn't see the doctor at all in the 8 years we lived there and no house calls and I only saw the doctor a couple of times but there was still no appointment system. In Bedford the doctor was ex RAF and really on the ball, busy surgery, no appointments. |

Well ours are lovely and so efficient. If you have an urgent need to see the doc then you can ring in the same day for one of the post surgery time appointments |

GPs earn a fair whack supplying patient medical history details to Insurance Companies who transact health insurance. |

one never ending problem in the UK is that anybody earning over £ 60 K is some sort of plutocrat. Maybe the attitude reflects journo pay in the red tops. Partners may be well paid other Gp doctors are not hence the shortages. |
