A vision of the NHS in 50 years’ time, when automatons rule, and human doctors are digitally-enhanced to be all-knowing.
As a GP, I often see three generations of the same family in the same consultation. Often the mother of the poorly child attends with her own mother – an age span of around 50 years. I wonder if I will still be seeing the youngest patient, given the likely changes in pension ages, in another 50 years’ time and what general practice will look like then...
I sit down at my desk. My first patient is not due for a few minutes. I’ve never kicked the habit of coming to work early, even in the years of the technological revolution that changed the face of general practice forever. Life has been different since NHS England was replaced by the automatons.

At least we diabetics won't have to worry about it, given that The Cure is only ten years away! 😉 🙄
