GPs, Behind Closed Doors.

[chilistrucker]

Wow, anyone else watching this, fascinating viewing.
I try and avoid going to my GP unless i really, really have to as i've always thought they probably have their hands full as it is, with genuine and unusual patients/customers.
Joe public can certainly be an interesting bunch.

There's a lot of fingers up bums, not in a nice way either.

It's very interesting actually, and a good way for medics to undertake peer review.

Watching on +1 amazed that people with learning difficulties can go to the doc unaided

Bumpity bump. This is a cracking bit of TV and a great way to spend an hour.

Sorry about the bump.

Series 7, episode 10(?) last night.

Patient saw his GP with a nose problem.

It seems "The Prophet" used to clean out his nasal passages with water, so the patient who was a third year medical student thought he would emulate him. His nasal passages became infected.

We can’t be far away from Covid hitting now I think? Seems to be late 2019 we’re watching in these episodes.
Still a fascinating watch and one of the only things I actually sit down and watch weekly!

You won't get any covid viewing, its my surgery being shown, and pre covid there was several young film crew, asking anyone who sat down, if they minded being filmed for the show, obviously once covid hit, groups of people was reduced, and you can hardly get an appointment to see a doctor now, was down there a few weeks back, and the place is deserted.

Are you one of the starring patients?

Yea look out for Mr Rigga

(No I declined to give them permission, but I've always wondered if the visit was filmed anyway, just not broadcast)


Actually my nephew was one of those featured, and didn't know until I watched the episode he was in.
