Expecting GPs to bulk-bill is absurd: It’s like asking hairdressers to pay for cutting hair

I’m just starting out in general practice, but I’m already exhausted with politicians making promises that aren’t theirs to make and weighing in on issues they know nothing about.

No matter what party is in power, GPs are stuck trying to justify to an angry public why they should be adequately compensated for their services.
