Hike the Fees GMC. We will blindly follow :) It is 5 am in the morning and I am sitting around doing the final edits of a piece called Stigma on NHS Exposed. The article centres around the impact of a child protection procedures on the parent. Actually, our hope is that the system will improve so that the less doctors subs will be spent on hanging child protection doctors.
During the last year, it has amazed me how much the GMC has wasted on vexatious complaints against child protection professionals. In fact, as soon as I understood the correlation, I wondered what the rest of the profession had been doing for all these years. I suspect I ought to blame the child protection professionals because they keep missing this topic out of their campaigns preferring instead of crow about themselves. I doubt my fellow bloggers will really care about the issue. I am not surprised. It is a boring issue. It though amuses me to think that 300,000 doctors follow like sheep and pay the GMC to abuse their funds. No one raises and objection at all. In the eyes of doctors, the child protection issue is far from the issue of subscription fees? Is it that far?
During the time period where complaints have hiked up against doctors, subscription fees paid to the GMC have hiked up from about £90 to about £400 [rounded figures]. Someone ought to do a graphical correlation of this. Even Mr Intelligent Oliver Dearlove who wallows around with the child protection people has failed to figure out this correlation. No one thinks this is an important problem. We must therefore assume that all doctors are happy to pay this sort of fee per year. The GMC of course runs a monopoly. No one questions this monopoly either. It is rather like Microsoft but with no EU control. The GMC controls doctors much like a border collie controls sheep. The sheep say nothing but blindly follow and never bats an eye lid. And this is of course why the GMC gets away with daylight robbery.
We rely upon the General Medical Council to use the funds given to them correctly. Do they use it correctly? Over the last few years, there have been many cases where the GMC has merely reacted to the media. They have given the media the verdicts they have demanded and sold doctors out. Forget justice. It is only lately that the GMC have understood who is pulling their strings. Since 1998, the nefarious group of half baked msbp campaigners who give the wrong diagnosed a bad name have ruled the GMC.
Until this year, the GMC and the media had not been educated. Now that they are educated [with a great deal of difficulty], the fortunes of the leading paediatrician in the field has changed.
This may be a isolated media incident today but no one has questioned how much hard working doctors have paid for the GMC to abuse their powers and chase after the media's whim. The message we have really is that doctors are quite happy to pay fees that hike up by approximately £100 per year. It is this unquestioning, silent attitude that results in abuses of power.
James Landon our webmaster told me that I should stop telling men off. He is probably right because I spend most of my time telling men off because their inadequacies annoy me. I often wish I lived in the 1950s where men were men and not more concerned about being PC. The quality of men has really fallen. Hardly anyone is chivarious, hardly any of them are brave and this I think is a product of failing society :) and the increase in feminism. Men have indeed become lazy and have become relatively dormant. They have all lost the skills of being a hero.
James had spotted Jobbing Doctor who clearly felt I had taken him to task. I had whined and whinged on a previous piece. Actually, that is what women do, whine and whinge.
Actually, it had not been directed to The Jobbing Doctor at all. I merely postulated that JD was writing about other topics to avoid the most uncomfortable and depressing one. So I moaned about how busy doctors always say they are. Amusingly, JD states
JD like David Southall knows I hold secrets that I have never disclosed. JD also knows that he can actually trust me far more than the GMC [ although he may not initially think so]. The GMC recently provided an exemption and refused to disclose how much doctors funds were spent on the 40 or so complaints against David Southall over the last 10 years. This is because the GMC holds more secrets than I do. JD and I will no doubt have many arguments much like David Southall and I have had. This is what happens when grown up men miss the obvious. Like David Southall, JD will wish to associate with me through his anoymous name [ behind the scenes] but never with his own name in the public domain :). Grown men do amuse me somewhat. All grown up - but fearful of so many things. Indeed, fearful of fear itself.
Of course, JD should also realise that being of a certain age - ie the sexy, smouldering mature man over 50, he will have to pay the GMC well into his retirement. So while the rest of the bloggers muse about variations of subjects, I amuse myself by the fact that they pay the GMC subscription fees and follow the GMC much like sheep.
Still, one saving grace is that JD is cute, he ought really to have married me because if he had done, he would have been "too busy to blog" :) :) and I would have been far too busy to be concerned about the abuse of GMC subscription fees. Indeed " other things may have taken up our time" and I certainly know about life sentences and handcuffs.

"For this I apologise, but other things have taken up my time".It is true that sex takes considerably longer after 50 but not that long JD :). But JD is cute and we have to look longingly over the cybernet at him. JD is actually a very busy man - 3 wives, 20 children, PCT woes, cats, dogs, me etc etc. He also pays about £400 per year to the GMC and doesn't ask himself the question - why are the fees hiking up? JD is lovely but he also accidentally makes mistakes like telling me what his real initials are. At this juncture, JD becomes even more attractive because he is afterall a man who can make mistakes like all of us. JD will fret this morning, will pace up and down his office and drink some extra strong coffee. This mistaken disclosure will worry him more than the amount of GMC subscription funds he forks out this year. Other things taking up a doctors time is also typical of many doctors - too busy to think about the fact that their own regulatory body is committing day light robbery.
