Sure, there are the pulmonary embolisms, myocardial infarctions and major psychiatric disturbances walking through the door... the problem is that you just refer them on.
Got a cold or flu? Come back in a week if it's still there. Then I'll refer you to hospital.
That chest pain bothering you? To hospital you go.
What about that knee? -- I know a good orthopod.
General Practice is your everyday doctor. Being the every day doctor really appeals to me. The problem is, the doctor that you need every day doesn't do the stuff that really interests me.
High blood pressure? Have some tablets.
Prostate checked this year? I've got some gloves.
Your cholesterol is a bit high. Exercise and eat better.
I'm conflicted at the moment. I start my professional clinical life in 1.5 years (if I pass!). Which way shall I go?
