#GPFUQ 152 What’s it mean if there aren’t any problems?
It usually means you have not been paying enough attention to everything around
you and have not noticed the problems that are there.
#GPFUQ 153 Why may it be bad for you if everything really seems to be going well? If you’re not having any bad experiences it usually
means you aren’t getting out enough or challenging yourself.
#GPFUQ 154
Can complex problems have simple answers? In real general practice for
every complex problem there is always an answer that is clear, simple and
wrong.

155 What do we need to do when the guidelines have no good answer? GPs have to
us their judgement to help patients decisions about their care. This judgement
is a major sink for risk in the NHS but we
have to be careful because the risk we are taking is with other peoples lives.
#GPFUQ
156 When do guidelines and technology cause most problems? It’s when they make
us ask our patients questions that neither of us really want asked.
#GPFUQ 157 When is a patient’s urgent problem not an emergency for a GP?
It’s not an emergency for the GP if the only failure is that the patient hasn’t
planned their day.
