ROFL
I don't think Rowley is truly having a dig at primary care though - or
can you correct me on that Rowley?
I am sure that such a skewed portrayal of one view of some evidence is
not what Rowley would really want to use to form opinion - hopefully
this was a joke and does not reflect your usual standard of evaluation
of medical evidence Rowley
In the last few days we have been busier in our practice than normal
Primary care has also received home visit requests with the stated
reason being that the customer does not want to use their petrol
If we are to use consultation rates as a measure or suitability as
'bedrock' I doubt A+E comes anywhere near close (not got figures to hand
but are A+E depts providing more consultations than the GPs in their
catchment areas - it would be interesting to look at this (I am being
serious - consultation patterns are fascinating)
Isnt it about time that we docs did what we are always accused/suspected
of - standing together?
Cheers
