Health ?

The vast majority of "my bloody GP is useless" stories I have ever heard, I can explain in my head with "because you are stupid" but I usually just bite my tongue.

yes this is very true. recently one of the women in work was telling us about how she went to the local A and E at 4 in the morning because her legs were in agony and she couldnt get it to stop. before she said anything i knew it was cramp. anyway, she goes about how all the doctors did was tell her to go home, drink some water and eat some bananas. it worked though.

How can "access" to healthcare be better in Aus?
Every single member of the British population has access to free medical care

Unlikely.
It's arrogant and ignorant of you to assume that of your GP.

Surely it's arrogant and ignorant of you to assume that there are no exceptions to a job that I agree in the most part, has exceptional staff who are in the right job for the right reasons and have obviously like you said worked their nuts off to get there.
My missus is a radiographer and says some of the staff she works with are in some instances "unprofessional". Again I'm not saying all doctors and GP's are useless, the majority of them are the complete opposite. However, my experiences haven't often been positive.
I also agree that the NHS as a whole is absolutely phenomenal and we are unbelievably lucky to have it.

Lol I like Billy's poetic posting. You have to double check for hidden meaning.

Lol.

If you think people with medical degrees who have spent years studying AND applying health and disease are useless, you may as well go wipe your arse with the piece of paper you get when you finish your module.
