A Doctor Is Not A Toy

This is really hard to sit through. A PIF on behalf of the Doctor-Patient Partnership, an apparently short-lived initiatve launched in 1996 "to encourage the appropriate use of NHS general medical services by publicising out-of-hours initiatives and educating the public to use GP services responsibly". Responsibly in this case meaning not calling them out for a bloody - well, watch it yourself. The DPP doesn't seem to exist anymore - it was the last few months of the Major government, after all.

@milkman981 Really?

I'm thinking the doc promptly wrote that woman a prescription for Dopeslap.

[Applemask]

@electrogeek77 Dopeslap is available over-the-counter in this country.

I'd never advocate violence against women, but when the doctor takes his glasses off, you can tell he's thinking about giving her an almighty dig to the face.

@ste1bro Faggot

[slyboy78]

so...why is she out of the kitchen?

[moksheebs]

@thezaylady Ok, thanks for the explanation. Now I know.

[thezaylady]

@moksheebs This doctor is on call and is seeing a lineup of patients. In this case, he has to tend to this lady's slightly skinned arm before seeing the very sick baby. The message of this PSA is if you have a little boo-boo you can take care of yourself, don't waste the doctor's time because it keeps him/her away from those with real injuries.

@Applemask And here I am paying a $50 co-pay...
