GP receptionists quit as patient abuse worsens
Dr Mukesh Haikerwal says one man threatened to blow up his GP respiratory clinic

The pressure on practices is becoming an increasingly serious issue, with doctors already warning of burnout and stresses on family relationships as a result of the pandemic.
