GP posting

GP stands for general practice which is the posting tat i'm attached to for this 5 weeks. have been goin for 2 GP this week and lots of lecture and tutorials. the preparation sheets for the tutorials are like 26 pages!? crazee...and it's not like there are lots of things we need to know but they keep on repeating the same info n makes us more confuse bout the whole problem. even a prep sheet for irritable bowel syndrome oso more than 20 pages.

What i like bout GP posting?
1. the things we learn are more relevant to everyday life such as flu(how to differentiate diff types of flu and causes), headache, back pain, dyspepsia and so on

2. get to see all sorts of patient in all age groups and different presentation and conditions (unlikes HCOE - all old ppl :P)

3. GP here have canggih system..everything computerised even wif prescription and consultation..no more writing on papers but typing!! if nurses have sth to tell the doctor...the nurses dun haf to go into consultation room and interrupt the whole thing but just send a msg to the doc thro comp. every single one have their very own account to check their tasks n stuff.

4. GP knows everything bout the patient including the whole family from head to toe..the pt will discuss everything with the doctor.

5. appiontment system - 15 mins for every appointment..no long queue and waiting !!

6. i have monday afternoon OFF!!

What i don't like bout GP and GP posting?
1. there's only 15 minutes for one appointment...if there's anything more than that..have to make another appointment!! and pay for that. so have to start telling story from the most serious condition. but tat's how the system is...some GP even have 10 mins for every appointment :)

2. lots of tutorials and lectures...which are boring!! and long preparation need to be done!

3. everything is so evidence based. dun haf a definite answer whether to do this or not...give this treatment or tat. GP is the no1 specialist that always live in uncertainty.

4. need to do a reseach bout a question and write up a report and present...evidence based again...
