GPs are a very wishy washy lot and they will indeed accept any abuse
thrown there (our) way. I would be more than happy to take a stand as
it is the only way to deal with bullies. No doubt there will
unfortunately be an acceptance of offer A. When are we going to stand
up for ourselves?
The precis of our case has been far better put on this mailing list
several times than anything I have seen in the press. A slot on Radio
4 with someone from the GPC was totally wasted the other day when he
was arguing about irelevancies.
Only a couple of hours to a beer. Might have 2 quid on the lottery
this weekend instead of 1!!
Best wishes
