>The idea of "commuter surgeries" fills me with horror if contemplated as
part of GMS<
Me, too.
Show me to the solicitor who is sitting in his office to greet my trivial
questions at mid-night.
Show me the hospital administrator who waits in his office at 2 a.m. for me
to call about my figures
Show me the politician who will hold his "surgery" at 3 a.m. for the night
workers
Show me the accountant who waits for me to visit him at 4 a.m.
Show me the Boots shop-worker who waits for me to come for a box of tissues
at 5 a.m.
Show me the teacher who will teach little Johnnie his sums at 1.30 a.m.
You can't? I have to take time off during the day to avail myself of their
services
Then why should I be away from family and friends - and bed - to satisfy
their urgent whim for instant treatment for a sore throat? What is so
urgent about that, for example? Now emergencies are different. I make
arrangements for them to be dealt with.
