Now isn't that just bloody typical of the attitude from specialties about
general practice. A pathologist would have a darn sight harder job trying
to see my patient load than I would looking at silly little Giemsa-stained
glass slides looking for Helicobacter. Indeed a technician could readily do
the pathologists' job (with a tiny bit of training) but you need 5 years
"training" (ie. patient exposure) to be a half-decent GP.
I suppose Quincy was designed in the days when GP's really were second
class "doctors" (or, as some patients would refer to us as.... "ordinary"
doctors)
Grrrrrrr......

Took the day off sick today, having decided that it really was very silly
indeed to struggle on, spreading the bugs, feeling like death etc. OK so
the guilt pangs linger on, but what the heck.
So here I am watching all that rubbish TV that I never knew existed,
including something about a forensic pathologist in the US of A called
Quincy, which looks as though it was made when kipper ties were all the
rage and Gary Glitter hadn't yet gone bald or broke.
So Quincy is feeling tired, irritable, short-tempered - you know the
feeling - so his boss says 'You need a complete break from all these dead
people. Why not go up North where my mate is going on his hols. He's a GP,
so you can meet some real live patients for a nice change, and take over
his single-handed practice for a month'.
Hmmmmm.......now that's what I call a real rest.
