MRCP doesn’t cover paeds and gynae.
And preventive health.

I have encountered similar patients as you described. It's just how people are. Self centered. Some want to talk and be heard. They use the encounter with the doctor as their attachment piece. Loneliness. If we only had to care for this one person for an hour or so we would be ok. But the people who run clinics and hospitals don't do the work we actually do and just monitor metrics.

It's difficult work. Not always because of the technicalities but because we deal with people who have emotions and souls.

And too often I have seen doctors are so egoistic they believe themselves to be the best dr in the universe. And so often each one of us is left to fend for ourselves alone.

Why are there no doctor support groups? Doctors coming to share their difficult days and know they are not alone?

Toxic culture in medicine.

This forum is anyonymous. So know that I will be here for anyone who needs some venting and understanding. Take good care of yourselves.

Just do away with GP altogether.
Nurse take over role of GP.
AP GPN - advance practice GP nurse
Can prescribe flu meds
Push everyone to become specialist
Close OPS for good

Limpeh like your idea.
GP useless anyway per someone
APN can see urti, do referrals and manage simple chronic disease
Anything can refer to specialist
Pay a Apn 5k
1 FP can pay for 5 apn

One polyclinic 15 fp can pay for 75 apn.
Maybe let 1 FP remain to tank court case
No more waiting time with 70 Apn

Someone give this smarty pants a beer ( not tiger one though) and send him to moh to work

Anyone here has any experience with working with parkway shenton as a GP?

Any idea which chains/groups value occ med/aesthetics in addition to gdfm/mmed?
any lobang appreciated pls.
