Doctors! Your Profession Needs YOU!

Well, it seems the BMA has been infected by some of the 'fuck you' mentality that Dr Rant lives for.

On Sunday, Dr Rant suggested:

• Belatedly, the BMA are showing signs of recognising the error of assuming they are dealing with the well-intentioned. They are beginning to realise that the piper calling the tune is a tone-deaf psychopath with no musical or medical knowledge and highly questionable friends.

And right on cue the BMA leader, Hamish Meldrum (pictured above, to the right of Lord Kitchener's arm), issues a press release billed as a 'rallying call to family doctors'.

In a letter sent to 42,000 UK GPs, Meldrum says “At a time when GPs and the wider NHS should be celebrating the achievements of general practice we seem to be facing a constant barrage of unjustified and at times malicious criticism”. Exactly what we've been saying for some time now. The lying evil fucks.

He goes on to point out that "The profession is under threat from local NHS deficits, private sector encroachment and an unprecedented volume of misinformation, including, what appears to be, politically-inspired doctor-bashing." and has included a leaflet rebutting the government propaganda and lies.

Meldrum accuses the government of attempting to blame GPs to "will divert attention from where the real blame lies" [I wonder where that could be? - Ed.], which is spot on.

Most importantly, says Dr Meldrum, “general practice is judged by what we do, the way we treat our patients, the consideration, dedication and compassion of a caring profession. I am confident that these values remain as strong as ever but it is vital that we don't allow the present distractions to affect the core values of the work that we do.”

Thank fuck the BMA are finally beginning to understand what is going on, and that appeasement and Quisling collaboration is not working.

Dr Rant likes to join the BMA from time to time in order to resign in disgust when the occasion justifies it. But, if we are going to save any of the NHS. If we are going to save the patients from lying in their own shit and vomit while the Royal Bank of Scotland and the other PFI fat cats laugh all the way to the...er...bank. If we are not going to be afraid to be admitted to our own hospitals. Then we need to all work together to get rid of the lying, evil fucks who are gutting our public services with their crackpot schemes and corporate cronyism.

Doctors! Your profession needs YOU!
