Yes we pay for NHS through taxes, but that doesn't excuse the piling on of the group demanding that little Johnny gets his wart removed immediately, when sadly that service just isn't available at many GP surgeries now...it's not a finite pot of money unfortunatelyOh wow, loving the fact that Caroline replies to the GP saying “the NHS isn’t free, we pay for it through our taxes”, the GP then goes on to say “we hear “I pay my taxes” every day” and Caroline replies saying “to be clear, I’ve never once in my life uttered the words “I pay my taxes”” - despite having basically said that in her previous reply? Madness.
Just a couple of classics from the very long argument! It wasn’t helped by someone who lives in Canada and was giving very poor advice on an NHS system she has no experience withAny chance of a screenshot for those of us that haven't been accepted into the freaks?
We really need an eye roll emoji!Just a couple of classics from the very long argument! It wasn’t helped by someone who lives in Canada and was giving very poor advice on an NHS system she has no experience with
I like how she assumes we all have access to private dermatologist!...not everyone lives in a cityThank you for the screenshots!
"No one respects the work of GPs more than me and the members of this group" What a joker she is
Caroline:
No one respects the work of GPs more than me
Also Caroline:
I think I’m a bit sensitive to the GP and clinician bashing threads as a fellow HCP, but there do seem to be a lot of them on the freaks. I remember recently someone having a go at a pharmacist, believing that since they’d read the bible they know better than someone who has done years of general training and then specialisms.Thank you for the screenshots!

I can assure you that 99% of HCP will have never heard of Caroline!I honestly believe Caroline has a chip on her shoulder. And the freaks emulate her in this regard, e.g the pharmacist thread you mentioned @AlphaBetaDeux Imagine going into a pharmacist and ranting on about how his advice was wrong and Caroline Hirons says xyz. The cult of Hirons has created monsters like that but I guess that's the power of the internet. People thinking because they read xyz online that they know better than the actual medical professional
She once claimed this. I think it can be added to the file of things that never happenedI can assure you that 99% of HCP will have never heard of Caroline!Despite what she , or her flying monkeys may think!
Don't Nurses do smears? ....She once claimed this. I think it can be added to the file of things that never happened
As readership grew, Caroline – whose most recent company profits were in the region of £180,000, and who now has sons Ben and Daniel working for her – began being recognised more and more in public. Once, her GP started asking for skincare tips while giving Caroline a cervical smear.
‘I was lying there, literally with the speculum still inside me, and she said, “While I have you there, can I ask your advice on this?”’ Caroline recalls. ‘I had no idea she even read my blog, but I said, “Well, you literally do have me captive, doc, so ask away.”’
GPs will sometimes do them too, so that doesn’t surprise me. But I just can’t see any of the rest of that scenario being true!Don't Nurses do smears? ....
Put a sock in it, Caroline. That did not happen. Smears are usually carried out pretty quickly (thank god), the GP wouldn't be faffing about asking about skincare. Maybe they mentioned it at the end of the appointment. But that doesn't make for an interesting story I guess.She once claimed this. I think it can be added to the file of things that never happened
