Abstract
I never thought it would be easy But no-one really said I’d have to know everything from Derm to GUM to Problems in the head But not just that there’s CQC, CCG and QOF And a thousand different Qscores I can’t get the hang of I’ve got an eportfolio That’s about 2 months behind And I’m supposed to read some papers Ideally double-blind I’ve only done 2 out-of-hours And need to do lots more But with CSA and AKT I feel like collapsing on the floor I watch my video consults And cringe at things I say And consider that maybe I ought to Have my hair a different way My appointment times are getting slashed I’m told I should be faster 10 minutes seems impossible And bound to spell disaster Hospital colleagues and old med school chums Who didn’t choose GP Think it’s just about eating biscuits And hugging the odd tree ‘You’ve no idea!’ I exclaim to them ‘The things we need to do’ But they don’t know that GP includes Lots of unmeasurable stuff too But somehow I’m sure it will all work out And I’ll get my RCGP pen So I suppose I should try to keep calm And carry on, till then.
