Tim Woodruff, vice-president of the Doctors Reform Society and a specialist physician, argues the Governments changes to GP payments are a threat to affordable health care. He says: The Federal Government completely ignores the fact that patients are not in a position to know whether their apparently minor complaint is an indicator of a life-threatening condition. We doctors want patients to come with apparently trivial complaints like indigestion which is really a heart attack, a tiny foot ulcer which is really the first stage of gangrene leading to amputation, some bleeding from the bowel which isnt piles but instead totally curable bowel cancer. We can save lives.
