GPs were supposed to be back to full practice, 'back to normal' just like everyone else months ago
My father has had an issue with his foot, he ended up in hospital and nearly died, because he wasn't seen by a Doctor, only by a nurse
The podiatry department he attends have no love for GPs surgeries conduct at all, they are putting incredible strain on podiatry and no doubt other services through many people who if diagnosed and treated or referred earlier, would need far fewer visits and far less intensive and extensive treatment ending up in their service.
I find the situation appalling and unacceptable, that's what happens when you let entities such as GP surgeries self regulate, I guess there is considerable scope for many GP surgeries to face legal action in the future, through misdiagnosis or miss diagnosis, although I encountered that when they were actually still seeing patients - missed diagnosing acid reflux, and the dentists weren't any better, I think they also should have recognised what the issue was from my description of it. Despite doing everything the dentist instructed me to, acid refulx, pooling in my mouth while sleeping, absolutely destroyed my gums and severely damaged my teeth, four of which I will have to have removed before too long.
My GP surgery diagnosed the acid reflux & (SEVEN) years after I first went to them about it, at the fifth time of my raising the issue with them, through my describing to them what I was experiencing exactly as I has the first four times - Between them and the dentists they should ideally have to foot the bill for implants
