This is a story that just keeps on giving. Again, courtesy of the National Health Service(NHS) in the United Kingdom, general practitioners all across the U.K. are openly discussing a mass walkout and closure of doctors’ offices, citing the combined pressures of an aging population, increasingly complex health needs, funding cuts, soaring costs, and lack of incentives for new trainee doctors. The tipping point appears to be the latest directive from Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to force GPs to offer seven day access, meaning that a GP would be forced to open evenings and Saturdays to ensure that patients would be seen within seven days of an appointment request. I’ll bet the UK medical schools are just buzzing with excitement ! It would be the height of naivety to assume that this type of scenario isn’t right around the corner here. WHAT THE HECK !
