All the above are procedures that are useful as a GP
Helps patients for sure.
Makes you look very competent
But for practical reasons GP would NOT want to do
Even at OPS also dont do.
Why?
Time consuming. Plus you think patients willing to pay?
Send to A&E. Thats why they charge $$$.
You spend easily 15 min doing a T&S explain to pt
Prepare. Clesn. Drape. Flush. Siuture. Dressing. Explain.
15 min is damn fast already. Likely 30 min.
You charge how much? Meantime queue in clinic growing
Patient angry why have to wait so long?
Wedge excision of ingrowing toenail? Zadik op?
Wait long long.
Pap is standard. Esp if female dr.
Ear synringing is fun
But you dont charge and make money from these procedires.
No one willing to pay.
They will pay for botox though. Lol!
