[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2116173, member: 401801"] A GP has to know about every single thing that can go wrong in a person... That's a lot. Seriously. Ever seen a medical textbook? You could bash someone's head in with those. Considering a doc has just a few minutes per patient, has to do paperwork, be on call... There's no way they can keep up with developments as they happen and still find time to have a life. (Besides, magazines like the Lancet are often specialism specific.) That my endo dropped the ball, [I]that[/I] irks me no end, as it's her specialism. But a GP.... They're overtaxed as it is, so yeah... I think the OP is a genuine GP, and being on the other side of the doc's desk, is going to be a learning experience that'll help their own health and that of many, many patients in the future.
