GP update

So anyway, thanks to a bit of googling, I found out that my GP was ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF MANSLAUGHTER! In January!

Police began a manslaughter investigation after ambulance staff complained that a doctor had not attempted to resuscitate a pensioner...

Edit: She's still allowed to practice, but she's already been replaced at the surgery. There are some conditions on her working as a doctor until July 2007, but nothing major.

I didn't realise that CPR skills are recommended for but not required by UK doctors in general practice. It would be interesting to know how many GPs have the skills. We might actually be 'safer' having our heart attacks on the street rather than in a doctor's surgery (while acknowledging that it's not as easy to save someone through CPR as it looks on TV).
