I expect GP's to be medicine businessmen really with the market knowledge that local people have a choice of services and goods that they exercise until it comes to the NHS and the absolute dictatorship of : "We always know best"

Yeahhh - of course they do .....I even spring up my arm like an ardent broomstick when I go to hospital and shout .... "Heil A and E " ..

I am well mind-trained .. probably by CBT..

One of my prime nags is about Mental Health :

Piloting patient choice in mental health using budgets for choices of therapies and creating patient-tested local market supply has not even been an option for GP's many of whom are just human beings that also while wanting to make a quid - want to do well by patients lives ...

I just cannot write off GP's as selfish particularly because we all need to throw that stone backwards before chucking it at them ....

Mind you as a poor dog like man I am past bouldering now .. Even my paws limp .....So in fact I may be morally better now than most of you hanging around the health pounds

(winks)

Trust me before I became a dog
I WAS A PATIENT
