You didnt actually ask one!Oh, and ...What question? You didnt actually ask one!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and as regards your previous posting, are you on crack?<BR/><BR/>"I just don't like self-interested obstructionists who made an informed choice to follow a career in medicine, and then once they are there anonymously attack the system they made the choice to join."<BR/><BR/>Right, so what would you do if you had the brains, stamina and skill to get through medical school? <BR/><BR/>Would you carry on with the system as it is? Or would that that make a mockery of all your postings about the need for reform? Well?<BR/><BR/><BR/>"I assume that with your extensive intellect you were aware that there was only one employer here that would use your services. Let's take that as a given even though many here are good at missing the bleeding obvious."<BR/><BR/>Most doctors are self employed GPs or work for the universities or private healthcare companies or is that too obvious a point for you to grasp?<BR/><BR/><BR/>"...all you do here is call the system "failing", admit that people are dying because it is so bad in the NHS, call the people who try and make changes names, insult them, question their intellect. So what does that make you? Far worse people than those you attack."<BR/><BR/>How have you reached that conclusion? So if you were an airline pilot and the new management consultant in your company thought it would be a great idea to save money by deciding not to buy any wings for the aeroplanes do you think they should be championed and applauded for "fighting to make things better" or should they be derided as fucking imbeciles who have no idea how a plane flies?<BR/><BR/><BR/>"Also, for you to suggest that you can run the whole £104 billion system is a farce."<BR/><BR/>What is a farce is that the system (when it was run by us) was producing pretty much the same outcomes for about half the running costs it is now. You can throw even more reforms and money at the problem but productivity will continue to decline even faster than it has been doing because your analysis of what the problem is is completely wrong. Sadly you will out of time, money and willpower before you comprehend this (if you ever do).<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>"Just in the same way you goad those who would dare to even suggest they might have the right to comment on their healthcare, doctors for the most part are crap businessmen, politicians and managers."<BR/><BR/>Interesting - the GPs seem to be fantastic businessmen to me, see the above paragraph to see how efficient our management has been aginst your alternative. I do however agree with you that we are crap politicians.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"Someone will get on here and rant about that as most of you are convinced you can do anything better than anyone. Diagnose that."<BR/><BR/>I dont think its hard to diagnose. A UK trained doctor will almost certainly be brighter than you are, will have proved his commitment to work harder than you do, have more social and management skills than you and also have the benefit of acruing a great deal of wisdom that only peer-led medical training can give you. That's why I think in a straight competition I will do better than you. You don't like the thought of that? Live with it.<BR/><BR/>Oh I'll give you one thing - I can't juggle. I'll give you juggling. Enjoy your minor victory.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"Again, nothing personal, but all I hear on this site is what are the problems as they relate to you, never hear a realistic solution...."<BR/><BR/><BR/>And, nothing personal, but all i hear from you is you bitching about reform is needed without any clear cut ideas or policies to do this apart from some vague rambling about producing mortalithy figures for operations.<BR/><BR/>So is that it then? Is that your big idea? As we carefully tried to explain to you in the other thread the most likely outcome of this will be doctors and surgeons changing what they do to obtain the best figures - ie - rejecting complex and demanding cases in case they drop down the league table. This will not improve standards - it will just improve the figures the same way it has with the police or teahcers or any of a hundred other examples.<BR/><BR/>So, bright spark, what other brilliant ideas do you have? Or is that really it? <BR/><BR/><BR/>"..how YOU can change, engage, become more positive and work WITH the managers, politicians and others to improve the system."<BR/><BR/>Well I think the point is that we understand how the system works - it will only be improved by listening to people who know how it works. Engaging with managers and politicians to facilitate stupid ideas will not improve the system. of course - if they have a good idea like paying Doctors more and restoring more of our previous control over budgets etc. we will be more than happy to engage on such a positive and noble quest.<BR/><BR/><BR/>"This place is like an AA meeting where none of you will admit you have a problem. Talk about psychotic behavior!"<BR/><BR/>Never been to an AA meeting. What I have come to realise about you though Anon is that you really do not have the first clue about what you are trying to talk about. In your frequent posts you may occasionally touch upon a worthy idea or argument but you can never develop it because you dont understand the topics that you are rabbiting on about.<BR/><BR/>I myself can get quite worked up on some of the football forums I frequent and I can tell you I havent been impressed with the way Liverpool have rotated so much this season or how we havent given Peter Crouch enough support from out wide or even through the middle.<BR/><BR/>But guess what? I'm not Rafael Fucking Benitez and thats why my opinion doesnt fucking matter.<BR/><BR/>There's a lesson in there somewhere.

Th...Just noticed I have been branded a privatiser. The fact that you have a private practice sitting next to the NHS work is one of the most perverse and destructive of the NHS structural failures. All GP's are private providers. 40% of French healthcare is provided by the private sector. And you have commented recently on the fact that docs leave in droves to work in the US, a private health system. I guess all they care about is the money! Considering you make more that US doctors now I guess that can't be the reason. Since all of your fellow docs are not interested in the money, I can only guess then that the US private system is better than the NHS model.<BR/><BR/>Won't get an answer to that questions you have me on supper secret ignore and only those with a secret decoder ring will be listened to in the playground, very mature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-44844353318788242362008-05-12T11:32:00.000+01:002008-05-12T11:32:00.000+01:002008-05-12T11:32:00.000+01:00Ah rant is at work.

Let's take that as a given even though many here are good at missing the bleeding obvious. I would agree that from a leverage standpoint having only one place to go in a market is a bad thing for both participants.

Dumbass, how hard is it to realise that by being a good little worker ant i keep the patients alive.<BR/>Yes i do my job, but I could refuse to do lots of the things I do every day (without a problem anymore as references don't get you a job).<BR/><BR/>Actually re-inflating the lung is a big deal, i picked it up on x-ray, i proved all that medical training was worth it and as such a little old lady got better.<BR/>Hurmm, nope no medal but the M4 sign would be nice.<BR/><BR/>What do you get for a job well done? Do you get a bonus? DO you get thanks from your boss? Do you get any sort of recognition? I bet you do ...even if you work at Mcdonalds.<BR/>What do we get for doing a job well? <BR/>I don't think woe is me, i think ...people look up to me, people want to do my job, people think i'm a nice guy and i'm also pretty good looking.<BR/>I do think, what a twat who thinks if i leave medicine more people will stay alive! what a twat who derides the very people who do put the patients first and generally try to dent the optimism of a new generation of medics when he could maybe have an influence on them.<BR/><BR/>All i think now is i wonder if most patients secretly think like him? Maybe working the extra hours isn't worth it?<BR/>nah he is obviously pretty twisted so lets keep doing it.<BR/><BR/>Please tell me what i should do to make the NHS better? Bar people like you would actually be a start, the small minority who demand more than their share.<BR/><BR/>As for being lower social class, I do think it does help me. I relate to many patients i see more than some people I graduated with, I worked harder to get through medical school than some (as I needed to earn money) and I did it with idealism in mind not really thinking about reimbursement.<BR/><BR/>But i guess you have never felt like that so can't understand.<BR/><BR/>I feel like going back to the random abuse in the profiling post as your trollish ways just make me feel sorry for you which i don't think you want.<BR/>I bet it winds you up that we all have a picture in our heads of a man sat in a dark room all alone ranting against the world on various blogs in his y-fronts.Billy goat gruffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-58378183952349300922008-05-11T17:03:00.000+01:002008-05-11T17:03:00.000+01:002008-05-11T17:03:00.000+01:00You seem to have forgotten Keith Joseph as Health ...You seem to have forgotten Keith Joseph as Health Secretary under Heath had McKinsey turned loose on the NHS.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who knows McKinsey knows they did a major organisational study of Royal Dutch Shell and used it as the template for every other organisation they analysed whether BBC or NHSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-88847786368753409442008-05-11T13:29:00.000+01:002008-05-11T13:29:00.000+01:002008-05-11T13:29:00.000+01:00ah the rantlett tried and tested attack method1. ...ah the rantlett tried and tested attack method<BR/>1.

You choose to be a doc not me. Just another nothing is ever my fault rant.<BR/><BR/>2. Since we are by definition far more intelligent than the average human being, call into question their intellect. Tell them they don't have the intellectual right to spar with us or challenge our thinking. That's okay here but that attitude as you go forward in your profession will kill people.<BR/><BR/>I really don't care about all the idealistic bullshit you tend to spew, what I do care about is what you are doing to make it better for patients. It would appear that nothing would be the answer to that question, as all I hear about is how many "unpaid hours" By the way that's how it works in professions you get a salary not an hourly rate. There are a lot of professions out there who work a lot of hours. You wouldn't notice cause you are so wrapped up in yourself, "oh look at me I am lower class Doctor (that makes me really special) and work a lot of hours".<BR/><BR/>Whoopee shit, so you re-inflated a lung. Think that's a big deal? Want a medal, note from the teacher, pat on the back, large sign on the M4 saying what a great person you are? You did your job, the one you chose to do go paid for it.

Just as the child does who has no real basis to avoid what he or she has been told to do, you fly off the handle, go into uncontrollable rages, call names, insult, try and manipulate. Why? Because your reasons for not doing what is asked of you are baseless, immature, self-interested.<BR/><BR/>The reason you are not held in very high regard by the public? Generally people are starting to see through the "we need more money argument", or "the government targets and red tape keep me from being a good doctor". The people you are preaching to have to live their lives within their means, can't blame all their problems on money, come out with baseless arguments like "it might put patients lives at risk". On a daily basis, put up with the red tape and get on with things without calling everyone who disagrees with them a "cunt".<BR/><BR/>You do, just did. What I say is true and you know it that's why you can't defend the behavior or even try to, and the reason it stirs such emotion. Your intransigent stance against the system is one of the reasons it is the way it is. Why waiting times are higher here than in any other western country. Why outcomes for stroke, heart disease and cancer trail most western countries with the exception of some of the new soviet entries, even though we have doubled the amount of money into the system, 70% of which went into the staffs pockets. That would be you.<BR/><BR/>I am tired of the woe is me I'm a doctor act. Tough shit folks, life's a bitch, deal with it get on with your job, grow-up and take some responsibility for the system that you exert so much control over. The patients are the losers here and you know it but seem not to care.<BR/><BR/>The ranletts were the ones who decided to have this debate in public, call names, question intellect, family heritage, bully, and badger. All "regimes" who had little moral authority or were merely there to take advantage of peoples fears and needs through keeping them ignorant act the same way.

No rant it's you and your mates and your attitude." <BR/><BR/><BR/>Personally I'd have thought such a dramatic (and arbitrarily determined) shift in public opinion is unlikely to have occurred spontaneously. Have doctors suddenly become more obsessed with money/prestige? I doubt it. What then precipitated this shift in opinon? Sorry I'm going to have to go with the meedja. Certainly not irksome trolls such as yourself. You're merely a nuisance that (seemingly) must be tolerated.

Big word big word, CUNT!<BR/><BR/>I had not realized that rant-o-matic grouped you together by mental age, about eight as far as I can tell.<BR/><BR/>No pink I don't sit here and believe every hate filled sentence that rant writes and immediately break into chords of "hail rant, hail rant". <BR/><BR/>The posts here speak volumes about the immaturity, lack of respect for others, complete lack of professionalism and disregard for the people who you are supposed to serve and the ones who pay your bills. I suspect the problem is much wider than this blog.<BR/><BR/>Walk into any part of the NHS and the patient might as well be invisible. It is becoming increasing clear to me that the doctors are the problem. Whether you admit it or not, and won't because you will have to accept responsibility for something, you are the leaders of the medical community. Go on hide behind the government and it's rules, hide behind people you label cunts and trolls, don't take any responsibility what so ever. The government and the users of the system have finally called bulllshit on your behavior.<BR/><BR/>Have you noticed how the attitude in the last few years about doctors has changed? Until recently 90% of people followed you blindly, supported you 100%. Now a majority, think you are a bunch of self-interested money grubbers. Why do you think that is? The government? The troll, cunts, bastards? No rant it's you and your mates and your attitude. You are an entrenched bunch of dinosaurs. The fact you are fighting on all fronts, patients, politicians, nurses, face it, most other segments of society and the fact you write this rancid blog is proof that you have lost it.<BR/><BR/>If you don't want to change, have an easy life, create that idealistic place rant outlines in his latest post, buy an Island, take one of those jobs you spoke about in the US. Quit the profession, you can be one of the 30% of doctors the BMA has been saying are going to quit for the last 5 years, and haven't. They badly need someone to quit so they don't look like such huge liars.<BR/><BR/>Hide behind your nom de plums,continue to harass, and bully those who don't agree with you. That's most people really.<BR/><BR/>Face it boys and girls, the reason you fight so hard for a way of life that has its roots in the 1948 NHS is because it is easy, you don't have to worry about being measured, you answer only to yourselves. the problem is not Blair, Thatcher, the list goes on.... It's you!<BR/><BR/>If you really had compassion for the patient, a spinal chord, any commitment at all, why didn't you create the rantletts in a public forum? Disclose your real names? Why do you hide behind your "nom de plums"? Is it because you might lose your job? I would imagine that would be your prayers answered since things are so bad for the poor doctors! With his ability to drive a range rover with the steering the wrong way, rant could go to Africa.<BR/><BR/>On the Japanese, I have a Japanese wife and lived in Kobe for 6 years. The Japanese are very polite on the surface but as a society, not far under the surface you will find bigotry. They tolerate foreigners but rarely allow them to integrate fully into the society. They still treat mixed race children badly or ignore them. My wife and I moved back to the UK 4 years ago so that our children could get away from the abuse they were experiencing in Japanese schools as they were mixed race. The Japanese you meet in the west typically move here to get away from the oppressive nature of the Japanese society. It is like the UK of the 60's and 70's. You would always have people stare in disbelief if you walked down the street as a mixed race couple, in some parts of the UK that still applies, it wasn't done and you were kept at the periphery of our society. So, who ever you are, once again your idealistic bullshit is well off the mark, I would call you an "ignorant cunt" as it would apply but that would be immature so I won't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-31072672699077406362008-05-11T01:15:00.000+01:002008-05-11T01:15:00.000+01:002008-05-11T01:15:00.000+01:00Hmmm.Let's see.

What a shock it must have been to find out that 'Dr Rant' was in fact quite an angry chap who was tearing into politicos. Who would have guessed it?<BR/><BR/>Feel pity everyone for poor Anon. What an unimaginable trauma it must be, being forced by external mind-control to come here ten times a day and be subjected to abuse by that awful chap.<BR/><BR/>I mean, it is not like Anon in any way provoked a response. A totally innocent chap, our Anon. He humbly and quietly states his simple views, without any attempt to upset anyone, and is set upon by Nasty Doctors.<BR/><BR/>See, Anon, you were right all along! Those 'professionals' must be evil because they were nasty to you. You, who has only shown them Love.<BR/><BR/>Ah, my poor anon. There, there. Hugs and cuddles for poor Anon.

You only use anonymous so you are ignorant and not fit to be here"<BR/><BR/>Rant, you choose to do this in public. Be nasty, call everyone a "cunt" who you don't like or who would dare to challenge what you say. You have chosen to hide behind a "nom de plum". So what. I don't call you names, just describe what I see as the problem with the service, point out when I think your attitude and prejudices potentially inflame the situation or continue the status quo.<BR/><BR/>You have little regard for anyone except yourself. If you don't want "trolls" like me telling you you are full of shit, get off the airwaves! Go back to whatever rock you crawled out from.<BR/><BR/>The problem with you rant is that when you have ignorant people who think that rules are for everyone except them in a position like yours, lives are put at risk. The polarisation and hate you display for others cannot be as directed as you state. You hold most people in contempt. Unfit to even think they might have as much right as you to hold an opinion, god forbid, one different from you.<BR/><BR/>Go on rant publish your real name. Come out from behind the bike shed, stop hiding behind your profession, get some balls rant. Buy a backbone, tell everyone who you are.<BR/><BR/>I thought you were good at this. You are a rank amateur who can only get a message across with abusive language, bullying and the tactics of an eight year old. Okay, let me come down to your level for a moment. I dare you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
