Doctors and nurses were very good at stitching my toes back after a fully laden forklift truck with 2 tonne crate on it plus the tonnage of the fork lift truck... was painfull but they did a very good job.
Also saved my borther life too after his appendix burst and nearly killed him after all the poison got into his blood stream
Oh yeah.. my grandfather was given 2 years to live with cancer and only had 50% chance suviving on the operating table... He has had the operation and lived and now can live his life to its full potential
I do however understand how some (note some) GP's can be bad... it took 3 Doctors to come to a conclusion why i lost all feeling and operation to one side of my face for 4 months... only to find out some steriods would have cleared the problem in no time... I endured agony, and emotional stress due to a temporary disfigurement which i thought would stay for the rest of my life. I moved doctors as they could not give a damn half the time.
But my new GP is much better!
