GPs have come together to create a touching music video highlighting the “forgotten” role they’ve played during the pandemic and to lift the spirits of colleagues doing it tough financially and mentally. 

Doctors from nine medical practices, as well as three allied health services, in Perth’s southern suburbs have created the video to show support for other GPs around Australia. 

Set against a performance of the REM song Everybody Hurts, 24 doctors were involved in the production, including playing the music and acting out vignettes to shine a light on their experiences during COVID-19. 

They say they hope the seven-minute video will offer support and courage to other doctors facing financial and emotional difficulties.
