[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2332675, member: 521172"] Without going off track re the thread the potential changes to pension rules were a big reason why many "middle aged" GP's retired. My old GP was superb and I only ever saw him. He knew what was "normal" for me and I trusted him implicitly. Problem was the Government started to look at changing the pension age from what I can gather, although I don't know the full in's and out's, and he decided to get out rather than waiting and being told he needed to work another XXX years before he could retire. Whether that all went through and GP's jumped early I don't know but that was the reason why we lost two or three very good GP's at our practice. Funny story (to me anyway) about my GP. He played for a football team that I ran. Big solid fella so I played him at right back. He was a lovely guy but a tad clumsy and in one match he clattered the opposition winger and left him in agony on the floor. The he does the "It's ok, I'm a Doctor" routine. Never saw anyone be so badly injured one minute but jumping up the next. Obviously didn't want to be treated by the same fella that just kicked him!! [/QUOTE]
