So basically, once your overt comments are shown to be twaddle you revert to "There's more I could tell you about what un-mentionable experiences un-named people have had who are scared to tell anyone except me but trust me, they really happened"? And presumably they are happy to tell you (swearing you to secrecy in the process) because you have proven your patient advocate credentials by single handedly changing the telephone practices of DMC with one well-timed and carefully aimed complaint?

I saw Dr Gupta just last week.


I didn't ask for a particular GP, he just happened to be the GP I saw when I went.


Starryeyes, what on earth are you talking about, "weeks of trying to get an appointment"?


You can almost always get an appointment at DMC the same day if you go first thing in the morning. And if you can't get there first thing, you can certainly get an appointment quite soon.

This is my experience too.

There is a school of thought that the government sold too good a deal to GPs a number of years ago. Hence the taxpayer could be seen to be overpaying for the service generally.


However i agree with others above that DMC is a very good practice, run efficiently with good doctors. We are fortunate to have it in the area.

Interestingly by and large the majority of Doctors opposed the NHS in 1945 and were pretty much bribed into joining - Drs as a whole do a good job and make many sacrifices and work hard to get qualified.....but I don't buy into the selfless altruitsic light that they are sometimes portrayed in.

Well.....its true that Labour almost spent 30% more on health but

its also true Consultant and GP salaries rose by 2-300% and 80% of the money did not make it to patient care...so rather than Capitalism I'd say Blairism....and as we know once you put money up you can't reverse it....whos fault....Socialists

pissing away Govt borrowed money....while meaning well always fail to take into account human nature/greed etc...

ironic really
