It is a while since I have pen to paper, or rather tapped out any pixels, but finally the urge has become irresistible.
This charming doctor looks nice enough - but not everyone might agree, especially his fellow doctors, many of whom earn more than the prime minister. It is hilarious that GPs, Dr Findlay's descendants (or usurpers) use such language on public forums. The poor professor seems to have been surprised by their vitriol - Sherlock wasn't because once upon a time Sherlock lurked on a certain private doctors forum and was herself the butt of their ire. A NICE* crowd of doctors, not! nor polite, nor thoughtful or even rational. Like the worst spoilt children, they know no boundaries, have more money than is good for them together with an arrogant attitude of self-entitlement.

This is what he said about them
And this is what they said about him
- not very GMC! At least our dear professor has a brain bigger than a a tweet and writes publishable articles. Poor man was suspended and gagged by the Royal Marsden, not a pleasant experience. But then who said family doctors, aka GPs were pleasant people? some might be, others might not be quite so NICE.
The morale of this tale is that modern General Practitioners cannot be criticised, by patients, governments or even fellow doctors. And if they are, they retaliate with abuse.
The empirical basis of modern medical practice including General Practice
