Danny - this is for you... And everyone else...
...Overheard in an A&E department recently (approximate quote only):
Veteran and experienced senior GP doing a session in A&E, speaking on the
'phone to some SHO in some specialty who was taking longer than
usual/appropriate to accept a referral and asking too many questions:
"... Right. Well let me put it this way: Stick your head out the door of
wherever you are now, look up, and check if it says 'NHS DIRECT' above the
door. 'Cause if it does not, then you will just have to come and see the
patient before you give an opinion, OK?"
.
.
.
(End quote)
And I think this just about sums up my opinion, too.
