Got cancer? Need to see your doctor before next year? Hard cheese, we're too busy.

[Rangie]

Lockdown by January, maybe ?

The UK should not have stopped PCR tests for incoming travellers, mandatory mask wearing and social distancing in shops.

I wonder how many people will contract Covid, Flu ,coughs ,and other lurgy whilst waiting in the inevitable massive ques that trying to vaccinate everyone by month end

Is nobody in government or the media listening to the South Africans?

Apparently not

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Got cancer? Need to see your *doctor before next year? Hard cheese, we're too busy sat on our arses doing far call, and pocketing £100k+ p.a. courtesy of all you taxpayers.

Fixed.

* if Doctor means GP.

[dave the builder]

Indeed , you had SFA chance of seeing a Doctor this year by booking an appointment ,
even BEFORE Boris's latest announcement 

you might see a few GPs at the 19th hole 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Got cancer? Need to see your doctor before next year? Hard cheese, we're too busy giving booster jabs to healthy 25 year olds who have only recently had their second jab and had Covid anyway.

Fixed again.

Ime GP,s dont give Covid jabs. They sit at home while other health professionals rent out their surgery to give the jabs.

Which is exactly how it should be. It's a semi-skilled job that any reasonable handy person could do with minimal training.


GPs should be doing their normal jobs, which is diagnosing patients and organising the necessary care. Covid is being used an excuse to limit their exposure to the shitty bit of any business: seeing customers face to face.

Have to say I had pretty good service from my local surgery last week.   

I've had a painful foot for about a month. Couldn't get through on the phone, so filled out an online form describing my symptoms and they phoned me at 0830 the next morning asking me in at 1000. Saw the Practice nurse, who examined me and going in tomorrow for blood tests and an X-Ray booked next week. 

Didn't see a Doc though, but that's OK it's only a minor thing.

Correct!! When I went through Gatwick on an hour and a half stopover on the 1st December, half the people in the airport were not wearing masks!
It is not the GP's fault for idiots not complying with the rules. They have to deal with the crap the antivaccers, non mask wearers etc don't bother their arse with.
I have just done 10 days quarantine up here in Krankie Land AND a PCR test.

Up here in KL all the volunteers are ex nurses, doctors etc administering the jabs to relieve the professionals to do their proper job.
We cannot go to a GP or hospital and demand a covid jab!! end of.
What is wrong with you lot daan saff?

Are they disbelieving some of it, because SA's agenda is not to kill its tourist industry


Nobody cares about deaths, least of all the government.  Everybody in the UK cares just about our "precious NHS"...

With that in mind, if we do hit numbers approaching 100k new detections a day, which it seems the scientists believe is possible this side of xmas, and if 0.5% need medical attention for it, do you think the NHS has the capacity?  Whilst it appears to be less serious, when dealing with such high numbers, even small percentages become significant.

I'm with DtB and Drewomega on this one, too many idiots weren't/aren't sensible enough as we approached winter, when we knew the NHS was going to struggle even before Omicron.
