A grave situation

Michael Pagan, of The Pagan Consultancy, writes to express his concern with the technology and the commercial priorities at his local surgery.
‘I was sitting recently waiting for my GP to pull up my correct details on screen – it appears that our doctors aren’t trained to use the systems on their desks - when I noticed her desk calendar was supplied by a local funeral service.’
Was this, he asks, because the surgery was supplying a lot of trade? Were they touting for future business? Or is his GP, he wonders darkly, on commission?
