The War Within Alpha - Delves Feature Overview

From the ageing population to a chronic staffing shortage, there are no end of reasons commonly given for the crisis afflicting General Practice.
But, until now at least, no one has sought to lay the blame at the trotters of a cartoon character adored by millions of children - none other than Peppa Pig.
That, however, is precisely the thrust of a new article in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), which blames Peppa’s highly dedicated and responsive GP, Dr Brown Bear, for single-handedly fostering unrealistic expectations about family doctors.
The august publication has highlighted no fewer than three examples in which the fictional GP, who later displays symptoms of “burnout”, provides “clinically inappropriate” home visits or prescriptions.
It is even suggested Dr Brown Bear is fuelling the rise of antimicrobial resistance, which officials have warned risks returning medicine to the Dark Ages.

That cartoon will be the end of the British people as we know it!

I remember he claimed that it is impossible for him to get sick because he eats an apple a day and yet that very same day he got sick!

An episode of Pepper Pig has been banned in Australia for encouraging children to play with spiders.

NHS is a joke, most of GP's are morons that can't make a decision on their own and use computer programs to diagnose (often misdiagnosed). If benefits no one but unemployed and immigrants/refugees. Burn it to the ground.

If you want private healthcare in the UK then no one is stopping you, it costs me £30 a month for high level health insurance. The NHS is great for emergency healthcare and general prescriptions, BUPA lets me skip the queues and wait times.
