Action against Whitburn Health Clinic

I love how some people have signed the petition multiple times, and sometimes using different names and coerced family members.  This is the quickest way to have your signature / comments ignored.  

These petitions do not work.

Basically, everyone who has a bad experience, feels they have to "blame" someone.

For every bad experience at any GP surgery, there are literally thousands of good and positive experiences which go unheralded.

Blame culture is killing society. 

Doctors and staff are human beings - everyone makes mistakes, and everyone has different personalitites.  Misunderstandings happen, and you will not get your point across correctly every time.

The doctors and staff have to deal with people who are either ill, or who are worried about someone who is ill - just think how stressfull that is!!  The fact is that is impossible to get the outcome you want out of every trip to the doctors - you react this way because you are ill or are worried.  You dnt get what you want, and you take it out on the hard working staff at the surgery, like petulant little children.

Working in a surgery is one of the hardest jobs there is - and these "issues"are the same for EVERY GP surgery in the country.

The only valid comment I've read on this petition is the fact that the surgery is understaffed.   The staff work hard and provide a great service to the one of the LARGEST GP surgeries in West Lothian.

Before you set out on a tirade in future - just think about what it would be like, if someone in your family got this level of grief EVERY SINGLE DAY.  They are simply doing thier job, and doing it well - often under very difficult circumstances.
