Think education of people has a massive part to play. National mindset seems to be pitch up to a and e with anything
BST, did the treatment you speak about above involve laying flat and turning your head sideways into certain positions because it sounds very much like the problem that my wife had a few years ago.Luckily our GP knew what to do and was able to clear the problem for her.

Pretty much saved me from going mad, finding that treatment on YouTube did. I was beginning to think I was going to be permanently incapacitated. Looking back at it, the treatment from my GP was shocking. I've heard of maybe a couple of dozen friends and acquaintances who have had a similar problem, so it's not exactly rare. And everyone who has had it knows that it is pretty much totally debilitating. You can't drive, can't work, can barely set foot out of the house without support.But the GP was utterly lacking in knowledge that I, as a layman, was able to find on-line, and dismissive of a case which effectively left me disabled for 4 months. I've come to realise that "it's a virus" is GP-speak for "I don't know what the problem is, but you look like you're not dying. I have relatively little interest in your case; the door's over there Sir, now f**k off."I hope Mrs Hound hasn't had any recurrence. I truly wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. For those of you who haven't had it, imagine suddenly, from nowhere, feeling like you are drunk to the point of not being able to stand, and having that feeling come back every time you open your eyes.
Don't forget Boris has promised to recruit 6000 more GP's by 2025.Then again so did David Cameron in 2015 and achieved the grand total of 272.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-50351861

Lack of interest, lack of funds, lack of ability? I always wanted to be a doctor, unfortunately my intelligence and application was not of a high enough level. Are there enough people actually capable of the job?
