This is a "politically correct" assumption that sadly bears little correlation with reality, at least not with the realities of practising medicine as a GP in Australia. The only times I ever achieved somethhing was when I was angry, agggressive, rude and threatening. In fact, I would never have achieved permanent registration, provider number exemptions, nor permanent residency without beeing excessively rude at times to bureaucrats at various departments who took me for an easy pushover. I deeply resent this, but it is a fact. Despite my email rantings, this is not my true character. I would love to see this culture changing towards an environment where common sense and mutual helpfulness gets things moving, but I just can't see it happen yet. Maybe in other domains ...
