What do you expect a GP to do for a man that has collapsed when the ambulance is on its way?
Your friend watched his dad booze himself to death for probably years and when he eventually dropped it is all the Doctor's fault? My arse.
Guilt by proxy. His death was nothing to do with the NHS but a self inflicted death where blame can be apportioned to others from simple minded people who know nothing about medicine. He boozed his way out of life and nobody stopped him. Your friend killed his dad by not stopping him drinking.
Next!
did I say it was the doctors fault?!?! next time perhaps read posts before answering we were talking about receptionists....
that made me laugh! I could write a 12-volume tirade on that very subject and I rarely have to go, my mate's dad collapsed once (alcohol issues) prompting my mate to run down to the surgery (had already called ambulance) to try and get his dad some immediate attention, the battle axes on reception called the cops when my mate became exasperated with them as they refused to even contact a doctor in one of the offices, I don't think he got nicked but was too late for his dad.
I've changed surgery but the new place has a similar policy of obstinate and unhelpful receptionists.
