IF the GPs were primarily complaining about not being paid, it would be quite correct to argue, as you do, that they could be expected to carry out acts of charity for the non-citizens. <BR/><BR/>But apart from the fact that the GPs were agitating about expulsion, not their payments, charity wouldn't be enough for patients like Ama Sumani. She needed dialysis and medications, not just office visits. <BR/><BR/>Since my original posting, she has died, in Ghana, on March 19. While a donor from the U.K. had paid for dialysis, her medication, thalidomide, was not available.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for addressing these issues.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/><BR/>JimJim Sabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087828142188534542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476621888383604834.post-74780338464315871452008-03-31T15:46:00.000-04:002008-03-31T15:46:00.000-04:00If the GPs are so concerned about caring for the i...If the GPs are so concerned about caring for the individuals, perhaps they should offer to treat them for free.<BR/><BR/>Maybe they could all agree to devote one of their weekend days to provide free care to all migrants legal or illegal who require care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
