David,
I'm not sure what that means.
In one sense if I see my GP, I certainly think my problem is the most
important one I'll have that day, but I'm sure the GP's view is often
different. Who is right will vary from occasion to occasion.
I guess it also depends on who your business partner is. If the GP is
contracting to use your system, he won't be too happy if his indemnity
insurer tells him his arse isn't sufficiently covered if he does so. If
you are selling to the patient, it may be a different story.
From a societal provision perspective, we need to keep most of our
doctors practising, even if they don't always do so optimally. Simply
because the alternative is likely to be a worse outcome for many of us
if we have a lot fewer of them.
