Contrary to the above I've always found UK doctors perfectly reasonable to deal with, but we're definitely having some big problems in this country arising from them being absurdly overpaid. Some AI competition can't come soon enough.
- hogFeast 7y agoThe degree of reasonableness heavily depends on context. In my personal experience as a patient, I have found doctors to be largely reasonable too. I am a young male, I am in good health...what could possibly be the issue? I wouldn't report total satisfaction but within the bounds of reasonableness...and why would I even care? If someone is rude to me on the bus, I think "wow, that person is hurting"...and move on with my life. When you are an elderly, vulnerable woman suffering from chronic pain, and your lifespan is affected by these decisions...the situation takes on significance. It is the kind of casually ignorant view of other people's lives that Brits seem to specialise in. Oh, you are poor? Well, my dad once forgot to transfer money into my bank account for a few days when I was at uni...it can't be that bad. Oh, you are black? Well, I haven't experienced any racism...it can't be that bad. Skin in the game. If you want to find out about something, you don't learn from the sidelines.
