Float n ‘pins

With respect, I feel you are misrepresenting the reality of the majority of doctors.

My wife is a GP and my youngest son is an emergency critical care registrar soon to be specialist.

Wrt to GP’s, what many don’t appreciate is the after hours follow up when pathology and other results become available and the worry regarding some patients, the trauma of sudden death in adults and infants, delivering news of the big C, managing mental health concerns, families with gender identity issues and more.

Imagine if they retained 0.0001% of the angst of every patient they ever saw over a career lifetime.

There are a few ratbags for sure, but try not to taint the silent majority who are caring, skilful and helpful.
