I agree that some people who think they are experts make big stuff ups - including Governments worldwide. But people in glass houses should not throw stones. Doctors are suppose to be in the top few percentiles of IQ. Yet how many of them can't read or refuse to obey instructions. Every year we read of some-one finding discarded old medical records on the rubbish tip. Every week I see patients on medication they don't qualify for (RB or Authority), yet a significant percentage of GP's and specialists refuse to read or understand the yellow book or what their clinical package displays on the screen. Some blantatly ignore the restrictions. I am not justifying the PBS's criteria, so please no discussions about it. All I'm sayimg is that if PBS made regulations we must follow it or prescribe privately - there are many discussions about Dr. not bulk-billing, and if they feel so strongly a patient needs Medication X that they will falsefy records or lie to be able to prtescribe it, then prescribe it privatey.
I can continue add infinitum of how silly / stupid we as Dr.'s are, because we believe we are above the law.

The problem is, they don't trust *us* ;-) The problem is that they don't understand that it is entirely irrelevant whether they trust *us*. If we stuff up (our key gets compromised by our fault) = *we* are liable for the consequences If they stuff up (our key gets compromised by THEIR fault) = *we* are (still!) liable for the consequences because it will be close to impossible to prove in court that it was their fault If in any case we will get the blame and suffer the consequences, what's so difficult then to understand that *we* want full control? _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
