Have you ever peed in the consult room sink? Some GPs have
UK GPs are so strapped for time they can’t even get a loo break, college conference hears
Would you consider peeing in the consulting room sink if there was no time to dash out to the loo?
The answer is ‘yes’ for at least one GP, who did the unthinkable only to have her day go from bad to worse, reports UK newspaper the Telegraph.
The incident came to light at the Royal College of General Practitioners’ conference in Liverpool last weekend when wellbeing speaker Dr Helen Garr recounted the GP’s experience during her presentation.
“I did this talk once, and a lovely GP told me, ‘Do you know what? I once had to phone the caretaker to come because I was so short on time I peed in my sink and it fell off the wall’,” Dr Garr said.
