When you get a bit of what we used to call indigestion or your blocked nose has gone on for more than 24 hours are you tempted to google your symptoms and finish up with a terminal disease? The reason I ask is because recently we have had all the local GP surgeries inspected and scores given. A few managed low 90% scores but then it went downhill rapidly. My own surgery managed 61% however another nearby was down at 42%. One of the receptionists from that surgery wrote to the local newspaper saying how shocked the staff were at the score but in defeence said that the number of appointments had increased threefold in as many years. I know the population has grown but not by 33% so what reason can you offer for the growing number of ailments in a society which is wrapped daily in cotton wool and which is supposed to be healthier than ever.
