I was shocked to read this:
Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: Bungling doctors blamed as hospital death rates soar
It seems Doctors/GP's are untouchable and can get away with murder - well almost!
I recently had tests and was caused a lot of pain by one Doctor at the hospital. When I asked my GP for a 2nd opinion at another hospital the Doctor gave me a very simple test relatively painless that answered my question and gave me a diagnosis. But the previous Doctor didn't do this test - I wonder why?
