Stop doctors assessing patients by phone and resume face to face appointments!
All other professions are now back at work and doctors seem to have adopted an over the phone service. Doctors cannot spot many serious illnesses over the phone and it’s time, like the rest of us, that they resumed full time face to face appointments. It’s time they moved on as we all are.
There is talk of local authorities adopting this ridiculous over the phone malpractice that is inevitably leading to misdiagnosis, loss of confidence in public health and mental health. For example, a local surgery I attended had no FIT tests to screen for bowel cancer, yet they have enough COVID tests to last years. This needs addressing at government level as if nothing is done, people are dying on the back of this ridiculous set up.
