I think I actually did vomit. Agree totally that it is the patient's responsibility.
How about we make lawyers responsible if their clients don't follow up on their recommendations? Or car repairers if the customer doesn't do the recommended repairs? It is just ludicrous. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Horst Herb Sent: Wednesday, 9 August 2006 5:23 PM To: General Practice Computing Group Talk Subject: Re: [GPCG_TALK] Re: The Death of Individual Responsibility On Wednesday 09 August 2006 17:02, Michael Tooth wrote: > > attend for pathology, radiology, specialist appointments and general > > recalls.

Same here. Next Tuesday we are facing our probably last re-accreditation We won't quit that nonsense because it is too expensive to keep up with their ludicrous demands - we will quit because it is a policy of blame shifting and denial of personal responsibility they are promulgating, a moronising cultural shift we want no part in. We want a system where patients (except for mentally disabled and young children) have to take responsibility for their own decisions. If they are informed why they should have a test or see a specialist and decide not to do so, it should be THEIR problem and theirs alone. If I provide a reminder system it should be a courtesy and not a "right" they can sure me for. Damn the RACGP and all their ivory tower paper pushers for coming up with such poorly thought through "standard", and twice damn the self serving accreditation industry that is soooo happy about all this because it justifies their otherwise unjustifiable existence. I nearly vomited when I got their recent advertising pamphlet with their "exciting news with exciting new development". I can do without such excitement.
