GP's, NHS & sportsmen - a rant

[bestathlete]

The cost isnt the issue here. A few £20 sessions may be extremely difficult to fund if you are unwaged or a low earner who runs because it's a cheap sport.
£3000 a term is a huge amount in comparison but not if you are a top businessman or football star or even a barrister or a doctor.

I'm not defending or attacking GPs.

Just saying if you have an injury which affects your running go to a physio or an osteopath or a chiropractor or whatever. I doubt Shane Warne goes to his GP, or Kluft or Gebreselasie. I doubt you will either in future, Moley

Mind you some are better than others. My favorite Physio died a while ago so injuries are more of a worry.

How do you manage to reply so quick Chris?

Other forums have email notification of a reply on topics I am watching
but I havent seen how to do this on here. Are you just on the 'puter the whole time? Surely not with the youngster you have there.

In my experience Doctors are the most judgmental, opinionated and pompous examples of our species, and if they taught them a tiny bit of empathy at university we wouldn't even be discussing them on this thread.

As I asked on a previous thread, re Mountain Rescue Teams, did you have a challenging childhood YT.

What thread could we start that will bring the positive side out?

YORKSHIRE

YORKSHIREMEN
MOST WONDERFULL PEOPLE ON EARTH.

But I'm not starting either of them

Starting a discussion on either of these topics would be tricky

Whats to discuss, I thought it was a statement of fact

Yet if I went in as a fat, smoking, unfit lardarse, I could probably have consultations, pills and disabled benefits till I die.

Someone called?
