OK, but this is about enjoying leisure time, not gp.

Hmmm. I say having lots of free time is OK, but sitting in
surgery, seeing patients, taking phone calls from consultants,
secretaries, district nurses, social workers, CPNs, carers,
home helps, etc, etc, etc (all of them wanting ME to do something)
is not OK, IMHO.

Organise it right, get good staff in and indulge in a bit of
time management and you can reduce the amount of gp you actually
have to do to an acceptable level, where the stress levels are
bearable, where you can go to work in a good mood and come home
again is a similar mood.
Even so, whether or not it would be "fun" (original wording)
is open to question.
