Situation Desperate......A tragedy in 3 Acts
1)Health Authority Playing Games
HA says "cut your prescribing budget"
I say "will try" and write generic scripts
Patient says "I want Zantac.......not this Ranitidine stuff"
I give full explanation etc and add caveat "Since the HA are the ones forcing
me to do this why not have a word with them..."
Patient comes back upset saying that the HA told her "Would you like to
complain about your G.P.?" Why do I bloody bother with this crap day in day
out?
2)Health Authority, Local Authority and Trusts saying that they will not pay a
penny for GP representation and thats final......"PCGs are coming along and
they will have to deal with us.....like it or not......."
3)Abused by three inappropriate "...something must be done" patients
There seems to be more mileage in giving every patient exactly what they want
and having a really quiet life, not doing any "good medicine". If I am going
to get shafted anyway why make any bloody effort.
The End
