Swinging the lead. A British disease of the highest order. No one can be unemployed any more. Unemployment is clearly an illness and so if you lose your job (or never have one) then you must be sad, which is depression, which earns you medical label and so a medical certificate and so incapacity benefit.
Even the government has realised the lunacy of this. So it has started doing medicals on the people on incapacity benefit, and seeing how many of them can be enabled to return to work. It’s got in a French company ATOS to do them.
But its rigged the rules so that nothing will be achieved. People taken off incapacity benefit complain loudly and long about the injustice of it all (sometimes rightly, sometimes wrongly.)
The rules ATOS operates under in part measure how many complaints they generate. Yet if they do the medicals with sufficient rigour, they will get complaints.
One doctor has broken ranks and this piece in Mail on Sunday shows exactly how stupid the system is, and how much taxpayers money will be wasted. The doctors at ATOS are on a hiding to nothing if they do their job at all properly.
The government will no doubt say its contract with ATOS is an example of successful private- public sector collaboration.
This current government always lies, which is why its current problems are due to world economic problems and mid term blues. Credo est, quia absurdum.

Interesting article from the MoS.
In fact EVERY single government policy achieves the EXACT opposite of what it claims to do.
ah, the sidebar rant conversation we are all supposed to accept as gospel! Fuck off rant. So you had a conversation with a doctor! Anecdotal twaddle, the Canadian system is a carbon copy of our own because civil servants from this country created it. The fact that you train for 5 years and appear not to add any value suggests we have an even greater failing than they.
Most other countries leave the history up to trained professionals (physician assistants etc.) who are not the doctor so they can free their time to speak with the patient and diagnose the problem. You have proven that GP's in the UK feel most comfortable doing mundane bookkeeping chores that add little or no value to the patient experience. I am sure it is a comfort zone issue for you and your mates and also a control issue. It is yet another symptom of your inability to move on and modernise your practice.
So you can fuck off runt, all your anecdotal bullshit is wearing thin. You must be asking yourself when the GMC or DofH are going to come knocking on your door and ask for that license you bought online. Very few employers of contractors would allow them to hurl so much abuse and lies at the system that provides them with an income and not want to extract the cancer. I can only think you are on a waiting list to be fucked up your ass runt!!!!!!! Might want to buy some vaseline, and start looking here for your next job www.monster.com. You can push delete now!
