If you think physicians don’t have any control now, just take a look at our colleagues in the UK:
Doctors leaders said on Friday that GPs had been put in an impossible position by the government in a dispute over extending surgery hours.
The government is threatening to take money away from GPs and give it to local health authorities unless they agree to open their practices an extra three hours a week from April.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has pledged to make surgery times more family friendly but doctors say there is no evidence that longer opening hours will improve patient’s health.
