We revisit this item
after one of the team went to collect a prescription from a pharmacy and while
waiting listened to the words of wisdom dispensed there by the soon to be saviours of UK General Practice the army of pharmacists to come.
The Party view is here.
This has nothing to do
with the fact that they are (not)
brighter than doctors just that they there is an oversupply and the Party has
bigged up their (limited) abilities
to pacify the populous for the Party’s decades long failure to provide enough doctors or
nurses and other front line staff to provide hands on medical care for patients.
So we were in shock and
awe when we listened to advice provided by the pharmacist that we as general
practitioners would have been incapable of providing.
NHS (dumb, dumb,
dumb) 111 would have tossed their coin of incompetence of either an A&E attendance/999
ambulance or urgent GP consult had they been consulted but we were in awe of
what followed when a patient asked of the pharmacy staff:
“My relative is on
dialysis is there anything they can take for a cold?”
They were “advised” after the query was escalated
to the almighty Party god pharmacist:
Take paracetamol and
drink plenty of fluids.
Outstanding advice from
that highly trained saviour of NHS general practice which led some in the
pharmacy to smirk while the dumbstruck relative realizing how useless it was
said they would ring the renal local unit instead.
Praise be to the Party
whose ideas of improving NHS healthcare always involves dumbing down and paying
peanuts to get idiots to deliver healthcare. Unleash an army of such morons
nationwide and do costs go up or down and ditto standards of care? Ultimately
quality costs and so do medical indemnity fees that will be borne by the NHS =
the tax payers for such unbridled incompetence to come.
