Supermarkets to host GP practices
Dear Tescos,
I am a little uneasy of this rumour I have heard that my local GP practice will be moving into my local supermarket.
Now, please do not misunderstand me, I have nothing against your firm or any of the other lesser supermarket (e.g. Asda) but the thought of my GP being present in the supermarket is rather worrying.
How will it work? Will I have to queue in aisle with my shopping whilst I wait for my haemorrhoids to be examined? How do I know if the fine woman behind me hasnt just had a cervical smear? Has that crying child in the aisle just been diagnosed with chicken pox or is it that he just wants a bag of maltesers?
What concerns me the most is the thought of my GP dressed in Tesco uniform. I am scared he may not know the diagnosis or the latest treatment. Will I suddenly hear over the loud speaker tannoy system:
"Can I have a medication check, what is the latest treatment for chlamydia?".
Embarassing to say the least. I hope Tescos and other supermarkets seriously consider this before hosting my local GP practice.
Your worried Prof,
Prof Scrub

Dear Prof Scrub
I think this a fab idea, when I qualify I can be a Tesco doctor, and possibly actually have some job security.
lots of love

Oi Prof. Where've you gone? Thought we'd see more of your cringe-inducing genius at work when Crockard resigned.
I'd rather go to Sainburys if that is poss. Will I get Nectar points? This gov't really beggers belief, whilst they are proposing these mad ideas my local health centre has closed down and the remaining gp in the valley is run off her feet.
I believe that tesco will take over the world. I have already designed my suit of armour made out of sainsbury's shopping bags with a skull cap made from a waitrose shopping trolley wheel. I will be victorious.
Oi Prof. Get off your arse and start bloggin' again, will ya? Me vomit bucket's getting empty :)
