Great Britain’s Health Care System Problems - 3 examples

October 23rd, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

Dr. John Crippen is a generalist or what we would call a family practitioner in the National Health Service in England. He is also the author of NHS Blog Doctor.

There is no doubt that our health care system is poor but the fix is often alleged to be the British and Canadian models. They have their fair share of problems and Dr. Crippen who has experienced these for a number of years has some humorous articles on his blog about these issues.

I would like to direct you to three of these articles.

1. Out of Hours Work deals with the issue of accessibility to your Doctor on weekends and after hours.

2. State Sponsored Shag talks about how the political machine dealt with the problem of ED.

3. Pissing Money Away is a report about how hard it was to get something necessary for an elderly patient.

If we use these systems example to repair our own, we need to be careful to find what is right and use it but to use their experience to avoid the pitfalls that have caused so many troubles.
