Yorkshire is now a Doctor-Free-Zone (DFZ)

As reported by Dr Crippen here and here, Yorkshire is now becoming a Doctor-Free-Zone© (DFZ) where patients, if they are seen at all, will be seen by cheapo-cheapo Doctor Lite™s. These Non-Doctors are often nurses. They have almost no training or experience in having the final responsibility for diagnosing illness. As the nurses in NHS24 (the Scottish version of NHS Re-Direct™) are discovering, patients die when you don't know you don't know. When this happens, patients sue. The nurses in question are liable to face more manslaughter charges than the proper doctors that they are pretending to be. This is likely to result in a collapse in the Angel image of nurses. I'm not sure the nursing profession understands, or is ready for, the change to being a group that patients automatically blame when their loved ones die.

Anyway, the actions of Dr Janet Soo-Chung CBE fill Dr Rant with rage. It is a rage that is hard to express in words, but perhaps the following images may give you some clue as to what went through Dr Rant's head when reading Dr Crippen's articles:
