GRUMBLE HAS SURFACED
He’s fed up worrying about the planet. He is no longer re-cycling.
Mrs Grumble is worried about polyclinics.
She prodded him in the ribs and told him to get his act together.
She told him to come up with a brand new post.
On polyclinics.
So here it is:
As always, Dr Grumble hits the nail on the head, and he does it by asking questions.
The ones that particularly take My Black Cat’s fancy are these:
“Why this apparent interest in the young commuter? Could it be that they have money to spend on additional services in the polyclinic?”
My Black Cat is recollecting that some dentists are now offering Botox. Yes, that’s right - Botox! That is what happens when Former Professionals become Market Makers.
The Witch Doctor is looking out for the first Former GP Professional cum Market Maker to offer tattooing and body piercing. Or something along these lines.
A SPELL TO CONSERVE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALISM
The Witch Doctor at that point will fire up a steaming cauldron and do everything within her power to stop the creep! Because, that will be the end of medicine as a profession. The witching community will use every spell under the sun and moon and stars to make sure this does not happen in the UK.
Are you listening, Mr Brown? Are you out there?
“The Economist” this week carries a piece on the regulation of quacks.
Regulation of quacks, my foot!
This is going to give credibility to quacks!
Maybe “The Economist “is having the same thought.
Read it for yourself and see what you think.
“IN THE 20th century medicine became a science; in the 21st it has become an industry. High demand and punishing performance targets mean that the modern GP spends fewer than 12 minutes with a patient. So it is no surprise that alternative medicine, which offers valuable support and sympathy along with treatments of less obvious efficacy, is big business. Britons spend £4.5 billion a year on it, up 50% on a decade ago. One in five adults are estimated to be regular users. But the market is fragmented and unregulated. Dozens of therapies—from reiki to reflexology—are sold by thousands of practitioners represented by a dizzying array of trade associations (homeopaths, for instance, have a choice of four groups to join).”
And of course, The Homeopaths are coming under pressure to remove themselves from the NHS.
Why?
The Homeopaths have been sitting for years within the NHS. With the Royal Seal of Approval too!
Sitting uncomfortably at times.
But, nevertheless, within the fold.
Homeopathy now needs to be removed because it is a potential money-spinner.
Yes, it is sensible when rationing is necessary, that Botox, Homeopathy, Reiki etc etc do not inhabit the NHS. But there is another reason that has nothing to do with rationing. These activities will fund the global healthcare companies. The clients, the commuters, the worried well will have the money as well as the need for a bit of magic in their lives. This will offset the poor profits, if any, generated by NHS funds following ill patients.
That is why these alternative practitioners need to be “regulated.”
To give them credibility to the public.
To generate a market.
Why else would you want to introduce new legislation?
After all, there are already laws in place to protect the patient from dangerous alternative medicine.
The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council is a new regulator.
” Instantly dubbed “Ofquack” by its critics, the CNHC has scrupulously avoided discussing whether the treatments it regulates actually work.”
You bet it has avoided the topic of effectiveness!
That’s NICE’s job after all.
When did NICE tackle the effectiveness of homeopathy within the NHS?
Whether an alternative treatment works or not is of no relevance.
No relevance whatsoever.
This is to do with profit.
Profit for big, big, business.
The professionals must not creep into this.
Do you think they will, My Black Cat?
