Empty wine bottle found in Dr's drawer after patients raised concern Dr Catherine Aspinall was sacked after confessing to "sipping" wine in-between appointments
WFH has caused a big problem for returning GPs, many have become alcoholics

So that’s what they have been up to .
I haven’t seen a GP in the last half a dozen visits to the surgery .
They all must be in the stock cupboard getting pissed .

Perhaps they had stayed sober long enough to see the true cost of blairs PFI mate. At one point during the pandemic nobody could purchse a bottle. Its enough to drive anyone to drink. |

Nothing new about people becoming addicted in their work place: telephone engineers sniffing switch cleaner, petrol station staff sniffing fuel (before the became self-service), dentists inhaling laughing gas, etc.
Once those boosters were shut off, is it any surprise easier substances were substituted?
PS — medical staff have always been noted as heavy drinkers and smokers, even when it all had to be done off site...

It used to be said that an alcoholic is someone who drinks more than their doctor. After Labour won the 97 election they seriously considered arranging for surgeons to be breathalysed before they came on duty. The reason for this was the wide variation from hospital to hospital in the death rate amongst elderly people when they had minor operations. The surgeons in my local hospital in London could rely on the pathologist to support them if families accused the surgeons of manslaughter.
Before I had an appointment with a urologist I checked him out on the online ... and found that he had twice been charged with manslaughter during the last five years (both times he was found not guilty). When I met him I was confronted with a man who looked as if he "hadn't slept for a week" and "couldn't think straight".
