Don't blame it wholely on GPs. What about the hospitals? It seems
anybody admitted as an emergenct nowadays is given a PPI. A patient
of mine recently was admitted with abdo pains, discharged the next
day on buscopan, gaviscon and losec (they can't even prescribe
generically). No endoscopy, scan, etc. Even more worrying no followup
arranged:-(
Is this good medicine? Or is it what some would call art?
