This seems to perpetuate the stereotype that the ideal GP doesn't know much, but is at least a good communicator:- i.e. nice but dim! Surely GPs need just as much technical knowledge as any specialist (ideally more since we have to cover all specialities) whilst specialists should have just as good communications skills as we like to think we have. The qualities needed for good doctoring are pretty much universal. Dr David Evans Cardiff %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
