My mom keeps heaps of stuff her patients give her, she's a country GP so we have things like crochet blankets and a painting of cows, they truly are appreciated.

[@daves6213]

Inner city GPs collect minor vandalism to their cars and buildings, crime reports for theft of their possessions and surgery kit, and endless nonsense complaints from NHS England and the cqc..

[@fay-amieaspen6046]

How lovely.

[@TheHairyKarl]

There’s something very easy you can do before Christmas, doesn’t cost you anything, vote, vote with your conscience, vote knowing that maybe you’re alright in this world but that many others aren’t.

[@uhhsiiji]

free speech is no more fascism is alive and well 2 god your stupid

[@bryan7938]

For years I send my GP surgery and GP an OXFAM card which is a charity donation. This year I sent my GP a mug instead saying ‘Our Favourite Person To Annoy’. X FYI my husband and daughter have chronic conditions so…they know us

[@MarcJenner]

Whist agreeing with his message, I am not sure about his 'true' story. That urban myth abut the Mars Bar wrapper was doing the rounds in our school during the 1980's!

[@mr.evasion]

So what If the rap fits....

[@offensivediscourse8514]

There's always Mars Bar Mini's if you're not up to it

[@sweiland75]

Why do British people talk so much about Mars bars?

[@sparklyyredshoes]

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

How can this doctor go on TV and discuss his patients publicly on TV

[@Neojhun]

Anonymity. You very much can talk about documented cases, that's important to medicine. But you must spend every effort to anonymize who the patient was.

[@rahuldahoob4513]

@@Neojhun why is this smug gay doctor being promoted so much?

[@Neojhun]

@@rahuldahoob4513 WTF that is pointless and not relevant. The book is amazing and he's funny. Any decent person who is a great book author not only should be promoted but also celebrated. It all started out as cathartic diaries of his experience. He deserves all the success for his great work.

[@rahuldahoob4513]

@@Neojhun maybe we should hear from some doctors who lasted more than six years in practice

[@Neojhun]

@@rahuldahoob4513 But they did not write a meaningful book. Sure there are a bunch that did also they are being celebrated too. You clearly have no clue what you are talking about and just trolling about nonsense.

[@MB-wk5lc]

I. love Adam Kay's work BUT why is everything on Jonathan Ross so puerile. Same dull sex obsessed boring humour for decades. His humour knows only one subject

[@floatingpeaks4584]

Thank god for bupa. With the NHS you will wait 10 hours to be seen by a dr and then told sorry you are dead.

[@floatingpeaks4584]

@Paul Osc Slots exactally. NHS unfortunately is not a national treasure anymore. It's time we realised we need to abolish national insurance and allow people to pay for the insurance they require at certain points in their life. We don't have national insurance for cars so why people.

[@thatguysellscrack]

@Paul Osc Slots I'm no fanboy of Corbyn, but have you taken a step back to think that in the last 9 years of a tory government, don't you think that it is by design all of the things you have listed?, to coerce people into thinking their way is better? I'm fortunate to have seen both sides of the health care system through various members of my family going through both. And hands down I would rather contribute to a public system that cares for all but also gave my grandmother an extra 5 years fighting leukaemia that was helped by others. It's about empathy and compassion for others at the end of the day. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect. But it is FAR better than an american style system you are advocating for, and along with fighting fascism and sliced bread, the NHS is one of the best things our country has ever done.

[@thatguysellscrack]

​@Paul Osc Slots Something we can agree on that. No real world experience within the party leads to no idea on how to run real world things. Apologies to fact check you here but I think you need it. Blair didn't 'open the borders' . That was a part of the maastricht treaty in '92 under a tory government as an agreement for all EU members to allow their citizens to freely move to and from each member nation. I'll allow you that successive UK governments have not enforced tougher immigration laws, much like Belgium have, but that's down to both previous tory and labour governments. On the topic of immigrants, This is from the gov website " From 6 April 2015, non-EEA nationals need to pay a health surcharge when applying for a visa to stay in the UK for over 6 months, unless they are exempt. So basically you pay in enough tax on your wages (like everyone else) before you can start using the system. Under this tax system its irrespective of where you're from. And under free market health care. Just no. The potential to just focus on making money instead of actually helping the patient is too high. Please just watch this.

[@floatingpeaks4584]

@@thatguysellscrack clearly you are a Corbyn sympathiser. I do a lot of charity work, that's about empathy. The health system should be about providing a world class service. NHS cant even compete with countires like Nigeria now. Time to move on.

[@thatguysellscrack]

Floating Peaks I’ll vote labour in the upcoming election, sure, but based on policy that I agree with on the whole, not because of the man at the helm. ‘Sympathiser’ is an interesting word to use though, did you copy and paste that from the daily mail by any chance? Just so I can understand the reading age I’m dealing with here. And on the contrary, the nhs is consistent ranked highly in the world. Read this fullfact.org/health/has-nhs-been-judged-best-healthcare-system-world/ Not sure where you got nigeria from, must be daily mail again.

[@notthemessiah9243]

This guy is weirdo

[@daves6213]

Dr Kay a bit confused? "Protect the NHS" - by publishing a book that describes just how bad the NHS is for patients, and for staff.

[@1Geeked]

He's highlighting existing issues with the nhs, why is that bad?

[@aa7115]

So just don't talk about anything and wish for the best then Dave?

[@Rhh26]

Ignoring the issues will lead to the death of the NHS.

[@Sillimant_]

Burying the problems with the nhs is how it's got to the state it's in now. Both the tories and labour are both guilty of this, because they never use it

[@saoirseloves]

You’re the confused one. The government needs to stop ignoring the NHS’ issues.

[@drvs2262]

Make the NHS private. It’s dog shit anyway

[@Neojhun]

Hell Yeah, make it worse and leech out money to pay investors. Great idea.

[@miacat5630]

You'd soon notice if we no longer had it! Tell me... have you ever had a relative or friend who required emergency attention? Imagine having that refused until it's paid for.
